The People’s Alliance for Democracy is challenging Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to clarify the group’s claim that Thai political groups have a vested interest in oil wells in Cambodia.
PAD spokesman Parnthep Pourpongpan said yesterday the PAD had fresh evidence of Thai political groups’ interests in Cambodia, and it wanted the prime minister to explain the issue.
Praphan Koonmee, spokesman for the PAD splinter group, Land Protection Power, said the PAD wanted the prime minister to hold a live TV debate with the group on the issue.
He said the media should be allowed to freely question each speaker so the public could weigh up the information from both parties.
Mr Abhisit has agreed to clarify his position on the yellow shirts’ allegation even though he said the claims made by the PAD of certain Thai political groups having vested interests in oil exploration in Cambodia were groundless.
