A country has its own constitution and law. If someone does anything beyond the law and causes violence, there will be no more tolerance, and legal measures will be taken, he said during the inaugural ceremony of a hydroelectric plant in the west of Cambodia.
He reiterated that all state institutions and garment factories have been working as normal despite the opposition's ongoing boycott of parliament.
The PM's warning came after Sam Rainsy, President of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), announced on March 26 that the party would hold a rally on the afternoon of March 30 at the capital's Freedom Park to consult with its supporters over the current political row.
Meanwhile, Long Dimanche, spokesman for Phnom Penh City Hall, on March 27 said City Hall had decided not to allow the CNRP hold a rally at the park as it is still under the court's investigation process relevant to violent cases in January.
The political row between the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and the CNRP simmered after the July election results showed that the CPP won 68 parliamentary seats against 55 seats gained by the CNRP.
The CNRP refused to accept the outcome, boycotted parliament and held many protests to demand the resignation of PM Hun Sen and a re-election.
The two parties had several meetings, including talks between PM Hun Sen and CNRP leader Sam Rainsy on September 16 last year, but failed to reach any agreement.
