"The government will not amend the controversial lese majeste law, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said yesterday.
Taking a clear stance on the issue for the first time, the prime minister said the institution of the monarchy should be protected and not interfered with.
"We must not bring the monarchy into our business. As Thais, we have to protect the institution, not exploit it," Ms Yingluck said.
The prime minister made the statement in response to the latest call by the Nitirat group of law lecturers to amend the law.
She said the government is more concerned about protecting the institution than changing Article 112 of the Criminal Code to protect freedom of speech."

"Regarding the demand for amending the lese majeste law by the Nitirat group, Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yubamrung said some people are proposing extreme ideas that can't be possibly pursued in Thailand.
Some people seem to overreach their bounds and express their wishes to amend Section 112," he said.
"What right do they have to change it? What power? They can only talk.
"The [Pheu Thai] party will never change this law. I will also oppose anyone who proposes that it is changed."

Ord och inga visor. Vad mycket bättre det blev gällande detta, än under Abhisit.
Vad säger forumets tomtenissar om detta? "Oj då, vi hade fel?" 
Eller ska ni hitta på någon kul bortförklaring om att Yingluck säkert "är pressad av den hemska militären", "vill avvärja en kupp" eller kanske att "tidningarna ljuger"?
Om inte så många dagar så kommer årets budget presenteras. Det ska bli spännande att se hur det går med pengarna till militären.
Får militären mer pengar i år än förra året så borde sista spiken i kistan vara slagen för forumets kära röda risfältsbolsjeviker.
