Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra supports the Pheu Thai Party's decision to join the efforts to create political reconciliation in the country, his legal advisor, Noppadon Pattama, claimed Monday.

But Thaksin wants all political groups and movements to join the efforts to create long-term reconciliation for the sake of the country.

Thaksin does not want the Pheu Thai to reconcile with the Democrat just to help the Democrat Party-led coalition government complete its term, Noppadon said.

He said Thaksin want the reconciliation efforts to be carried out based on justice, mercy and democratic principles.

He said Thaksin did not harbor personal grudge against anyone and was not bent on taking revenge as alleged by his opponents.
