India said Monday it supports all measures to uphold the rule of law and resolution of political differences through dialogue to restore normalcy in Thailand.

"We have taken note of recent developments in Thailand, our close friend, where fresh elections have been announced," said external affairs ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin.

"We support all measures to uphold the rule of law, resolve political differences peacefully through dialogue and consultations within the constitutional framework and democratic processes of Thailand and to restore normalcy," he said.

Thailand, which will go to polls Feb 2, has been witnessing massive protests against former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the billionaire tycoon in exile, and his sister and prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra.
