Outgoing Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has told the National Security Council (NSC) to take action against a group of activists that called for a public referendum on whether there should be a Muslim "Pattani State" independent from Thailand.
The referendum call came in a seminar titled "Self-determination", which introduced the "National Student Movement" or "Pelajar Bangsa" of the four southern border provinces that encouraged local residents to cast a vote for such a move at the Prince of Songkla University (PSU), Pattani campus, on Wednesday.
