Thai government backs down on insurgency zoning plan.
(From Thai Press Reports)
Section: General News - Administration was only floating an idea, says spokesman, The Nation reports.
The government has shelved its controversial plan for security zoning in the terrorism-plagued South following a barrage of criticism.
Making a face-saving retreat, Government Spokesman Jakrapob Penkair insisted the plan was an idea being floated but not yet implemented.
"The government has not issued any specific instructions for the zoning and it will not do anything seen as undermining the solidarity and unity of Thai citizens," Jakrapob said.
He urged critics not to hype up what they anticipated to be possible consequences of the plan, saying scenarios such as the involvement of foreign terrorists did not accurately reflect the situation.
"The government is willing to listen to advice but critics should check the facts before airing their opinions," he said.
