The fence-mending attempt by Pheu Thai Party adviser Chavalit Yongchaiyudh has hit a roadblock after receiving the cold shoulder from the People's Alliance for Democracy.

Chavalit has offered to talk with PAD coleader Chamlong Srimuang in a bid to reconcile the red and the yellow shirts. But Chamlong said Tuesday he was too busy to schedule a meeting.

"The most important reason is, however, many from Chavalit's party have continued to lambaste Pa (chief royal adviser General Prem Tinsulanonda)," Chamlong said, explaining why he deems it inappropriate to meet Chavalit at this juncture.

He said as a former secretary general to Prem, he could not talk to Chavalit amid the verbal spat, hinting at the lack of conducive climate for reconciliation.
