Minister denies accomodating Thaksin return |

Monday, 11 February 2008 |
The newly elected government has not given priority to accommodate the return to Thailand of ousted premier, according to Prime Minister’s Office Minister Jakrapob Penkair.
"Anything about Mr Thaksin is likely to raise public attention and awareness right now," he said. "A case in point is the issue about claims that he will get back his diplomatic passport, revoked after he was ousted in a military coup in 2006."
"I urge everyone to calm down. Mr Thaksin’s imminent return seems to be causing great distress for those concerned that he will get even with those who played a role in his ouster. Some of them are plain paranoid. I’d like these people to regard him as another Thai citizen."
