BANGKOK (Reuters) - Ousted Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra made an emotional return from exile on Thursday, preaching reconciliation and forgiveness in a country still polarized by his five years in elected office.

“We can certainly have various opinions on various things, but we shall not be divided,” the former telecoms tycoon told a packed news conference after arriving from Hong Kong.

“It will be best for all of us to reduce our ego, and our prejudice,” he said.
