BANGKOK, Oct 24 (TNA) – Khana Ratsadorn (People’s Group) demanded Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha resign within 10pm tonight while inviting supporters to join its rally in front of the Bangkok Remand Prison.
Leaders of the group and followers stayed overnight in front of the prison last night and remained there this morning. The group’s three-day deadline for the prime minister’s resignation fell today.
At 10am Songpol Sontirak and Jatupat Boonpatararaksa, aka Pai Dao Din, invited supporters and students to show up and announced that it was time to oust the government to have a people’s constitution.
They repeated three demands: the prime minister’s resignation, a new constitution and the reform of the royal institution.
They said all demonstrators were rally leaders and their demonstrations would adapt to situations and demands from participants.
Mr Jatupat said he would stay overnight in front of the Bangkok Remand Prison to wait for a response from the prime minister. If the prime minister does not resign, the demonstrators will set the next move of their protest, he said. (TNA)
