Thai PM meets senators

Bangkok: Thailand’s acting prime minister has met with a group of senators to seek a solution to the country’s ongoing political crisis. A participant said Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan’s government indicated on Monday it is willing to cooperate with the Senate but refused to step down because that might violate the constitution. The senators sought the meeting after saying on Friday that a government with full authority should conduct political reforms, but stopping short of directly calling the Cabinet to resign. (AP)
