The government has no plan to invoke the Internal Security Act to control the planned mass gathering of supporters of the People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) on Sunday, acting police chief Gen Pateep Tanprasert said on Wednesday.

Pol Gen Pateep earlier this morning met with Deputy Prime Minister for security affairs Suthep Thaugsuban to discuss plan to deal with the yellow-shirt demonstration.

“Police believe the Sunday demonstration by PAD supporters will be peaceful,” the acting police chief said. Mr Suthep directed him to refrain from the use of force against the protesters.

Pol Gen Pateep it had not yet been decided how many police would be be deployed during the rally.

The PAD said in its statement on Tuesday that it would stage a major rally on Nov 15, to show dissatisfaction with Cambodia's appointment of Thaksin Shinawatra as economic adviser and Thaksin's interview with The Times online about the monarchy.

The demonstrators would send a message to the world community that Thai people were loyal to the monarchy and denounce Puea Thai Party chairman Chavalit Yongchaiyudh, Thaksin and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen for having trodden on the dignity and integrity of Thailand, said Suriyasai Katasila, PAD coordinator.
