Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra had agreed to phone in to a radio programme of the community radio station of Kon Rak Udon (Love Udon People) or red-shirt group from 9-10 am of every Monday, group chairman Kwanchai Praiphana said on Saturday.

Mr Kwanchai, who had just returned from visiting Thaksin in Dubai, said the ex-premier wanted to respond to the Confidence in Thailand with PM Abhisit weekly programme on NBT of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, which broadcasts every Sunday morning. The chairman said Thaksin will start phoning in to his radio programme soon after he has completed his unfinished works.

He insisted that he will certainly lead red-shirt people to disrupt Mr Abhisit's trip to Buri Ram and every other provinces that the premier will visit because he does not accept the Democrat-led government.
