BANGKOK, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) - A main bloc of the anti-government "Yellow-shirts" movement called off their street protest Tuesday after the Thai parliament postponed a key vote on border issues with Cambodia.
Several thousand of supporters of the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), better known as the "Yellow shirts", led by Sondhi Limthongkul, dispersed after a joint session of the bicameral parliament decided to set up a committee to further study the border issues for another 30 days.
The 30-member committee, including members of the House of Representatives and Senate, will then report their study on demarcation of disputed border areas between Thailand and Cambodia to the parliament, parliament president Chai Chidchob told the meeting.
However, a smaller wing of PAD, whose members are more aggressive, continued its rally in front of the Parliament House as of late Tuesday in demanding the government to scrap all the existing framework agreements on border demarcation between the two countries.
