UDD chairman acknowledges difficulty of bringing people of different political shades together
16 Sept 14:45Key points summarised by AI
UDD chairman Jatuporn Promphan acknowledges the significant challenge of uniting Thailand's politically diverse factions after decades of polarization, yet commits to continued efforts.
A protest rally demanding Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's resignation faced a snag when a leader requested protesters avoid the three-fingered salute, causing several vocational students and red-shirt supporters to walk out.
Jatuporn intervened with an apology, clarifying the misunderstanding, which was followed by an apology from the leader who had made the request, stating unawareness of the salute's significance.
The Samakkee Prachachon group, led by Jatuporn, vows to continue their protest at Santiporn Park until the Prime Minister resigns or is forced from office.
