The proposed amnesty for people charged and prosecuted in political cases is a delicate issue and bringing it up for discussion now would be premature, according to Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin.
He was referring to a fresh attempt by the New Palang Dhamma Party (NPDP) to push a bill to grant amnesties to people charged and prosecuted in political cases from 2006 until now.
Mr Somsak said he feared discussion of the amnesty move when the end of the government's tenure is fast approaching would likely lead to unnecessary conflicts among the coalition partners.
