Govt will not declare state of emergency : govt spokesman

Therefore, the government is not preparing to announce state of emergency to prevent and control the situation, Nattavudh said.

"We are confident that there will not no violence during the PAD-led rally on Sunday  as the government has no policy to use forces to disperse them," he said.

He was speaking after two assailants on motorcycle threw a hand grenade on anti-government protesters at the Misakawan Intersection on Saturday at 2.10am, killing one and injured many others.

Earlier the attack on Friday on the protesters who have occupied the Government House killed one and injured many others. After the attack, the PAD who led the protesters reacted by calling for a mass rally on Sunday.

They planned to march to the Parliament which has scheduled to have a joint session between the Senate and House of Representatives on Monday.

On October 7, a woman was killed when police fired tear gas into the protesters who managed to surround the Parliament.

Chart Thai party MP Somsak Prissananuntakul on Saturday called for the parliamentary session scheduled on Monday to be relocated after the protesters planned to conduct a mass rally on Sunday and plan to march to the Parliament.

Somsak, who is agriculture minister, said he would like to propose to House Speaker Chai Chidchob to move to new place.

Somsak said he would like to remind the government about the October 7 violence in which a protester was killed.

."The present situation is very tense. Anything can happen. The government should use the October 7 incident as lesson," he said.

There are many places that could be used as the meeting venue such as the auditoriums of the Army and the Navy or at the Supreme Command headquarter.

Meanwhile First Army Region Commander Lt Gen Kanit Sapitak reiterated that it is police's duties to monitor the situation when the protesters led by People's Alliance for Democracy will organize a mass rally on Sunday.

The army is under the constitution and will act when ordered. "The word; coup, is not in our mind. We have duties to protect the country and to protect the border," he said.

He was speaking after assailants attacked anti-government protesters on Saturday early morning, killing one and injured many others.
