Senator Veerapun Suvannamai, the committee’s chairman, said yesterday that the committee will hold its second meeting to discuss the project today.

However, Dr Veerapun dismissed media reports that Ms Paetongtarn would be invited to today’s meeting.

“I don’t know how the agenda for the meeting was leaked. The agenda has not been checked yet,” he said.
