PM to dissolve parliament if situation worsens

[Norseman]

From the Nation.

Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said he will dissolve parliament if the nation's political situation deteriorates further,
but rejected escalating calls for his resignation, the government spokesman said Monday.

The remarks came a day after Thaksin's influential political mentor, Chamlong Srimuang, called for his resignation and announced he
will join a mass anti-Thaksin protest Sunday.

Thaksin called an emergency Cabinet meeting Sunday night after Chamlong's announcement, and told his ministers "he will not resign,
but if the situation deteriorates, he will dissolve the parliament," said government spokesman Suraphong Suebwonglee.
