Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam on Tuesday played down the Constitutional Court's decision to seek an update from the Office of the Attorney-General (OAG) on a petition against the Move Forward Party (MFP) for allegedly attempting to overthrow the constitutional monarchy.

The request is standard procedure as the OAG is required to inform the court of its decision 15 days after receiving the petition, said Mr Wissanu.
