The story about the "north's interference" is a sheer lie aimed to deceive and mock at the south Korean people, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a bylined commentary.

The commentary goes on:

The DPRK is not concerned about who becomes "president" in south Korea.

But what is intolerable is the fact that the south Korean ruling quarters hurt the north-south relations and mock at the destiny of the nation while standing against the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.

What the DPRK is concerned about is not who will be the "president-elect" but whether he or she intends to improve the inter-Korean ties. This is the deserved right of the DPRK as the main force responsible for the north-south relations.

To describe it as "interference" is a false charge of persecution maniacs.

Moreover, the south Korean group of conservatives tries to attain its sinister intention while provoking the DPRK with the upcoming election as a momentum, in particular. Under this situation, no one can find fault with the DPRK's clarification of its opinion.

The group's loud talk about the "north's interference in presidential election" is a height of impudence reminding one of a thief crying "stop the thief!"

They should stop at once their desperate anti-DPRK confrontation moves before vociferating about the "north's interference".

The conservatives' moves of plotting against the fellow countrymen will result in pricking their own eyes.
