BANGKOK, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Thailand's "yellow-shirt" group Sunday resolved at a meeting to give a seven-day ultimatum to the Thai government to solve the anti-government "red-shirt" protest problem.
The "yellow-shirt" ultimatum was announced at about 16.15 p.m., the Thai News Agency reported.
The ultimatum was agreed at the "yellow-shirt" meeting, in which core leaders and nationwide supporters, attended to assess the country's political situation.
"Yellow-shirt" core leaders including Major General Chamlong Srimuang, Mr. Pipob Thongchai, Somkiat Pongpaiboon, and PAD coordinator Mr. Suriyasai Katasila are present at their major meeting.
During the forthcoming seven days, the yellow-shirts across the country will closely monitor the country's political development.
Significantly, any political movement by the "yellow-shirts" will be constitutional, they said.
The "yellow-shirt" meeting, which started in the morning, was organized at Bangkok's Rangsit University, amid the month-long rally by the anti-government "red-shirts".
Meanwhile, on the opposite site, the "red-shirt" core leaders and their supporters are now gathering at the Rathchaprasong Intersection in the center of capital Bangkok.
They have demanded Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to " immediately" dissolve the lower House of parliament and hold a new general election.
The "red-shirts" have still viewed that, apart from the House dissolution, there is no other solution to the country's ongoing political conflict.
