- Kasit Piromya told Al Jazeera on Sunday that he will undoubtedly step down since the police have summoned him for questioning over the forced shut downs of the Suvarnabhumi international airport and the domestic Don Muang terminal.
- "I have come to a point where I am being criminalised, and I would have to resign without doubt," Kasit said on Sunday.
- "Fellow Thai citizens a few months back went to a police station near the airport and put a charge against me as being a terrorist . I have been called by the police to meet them."
- The police earlier said that Kasit and 35 leading members of the People's Alliance for Democracy (Pad), also known as the "Yellow Shirts", have been called in to answer charges over last year's blockade.
- "We have issued a summons for two airport incidents," Lieutenant-General Wut Puawes, the assistant police chief, said.
