BANGKOK, Thailand (AP) -
Thailand’s embattled prime minister dismissed calls for his resignation,
saying that stepping down would not resolve the country’s deepening
political crisis.Anti-government protesters have demanded that Prime
Minister Somchai Wongsawat resign to take responsibility for violent
clashes last Tuesday between protesters and riot police that killed three
people and wounded nearly 500 protesters. It was the worst political
violence in Thailand in over a decade.
"Many groups in society are calling for me to resign or dissolve the
Parliament," Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat said Sunday in a nationally
televised address.
