Government ready to take severe action on protesters
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced on TV at 5.20 pm Sunday
that the public should be panic with the chaos caused by red shirted
protesters and his authorities were now ready to suppress protesters.
He urged the public to remain calm during the operations.
His announcement came shortly after some 1,000 police armed with full gear
including tear gas were heading to the Government House reportedly to
crack down on the red shirted protesters rallied.
Abhisit has declared state of emergency in Bangkok and five other
provinces on Sunday afternoon after lifting the laws in Pattaya and Chon Buri on Saturday.
The protesters have instigated chaos in the city on Sunday including
road blockings and seizing armoured vehicles and buses.
