Minju Joson Condemns S. Korean Authorities' Confrontation Racket

Pyongyang, March 24 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet navy set March 26 as "day of punishment", three years after the Cheonan warship sinking case. It hung such provocative slogans as "Let's hold off enemy's provocation! Let us defend our sea!", instilling consciousness of confrontation with fellow countrymen into its soldiers. It now speaks loudly of holding "a meeting to pledge maritime defence" at each unit and staging a naval mobile drill by its 2nd Fleet in the West Sea on March 26, in particular.

Minju Joson Sunday in a bylined commentary says that the puppet forces' confrontation racket against the DPRK is the product of their crafty ploy to cover up the truth behind the Cheonan case and shift the blame onto the DPRK.

As already disclosed, the case is the hideous anti-DPRK smear campaign fabricated by the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors in league with its American master, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The Lee regime met stern punishment of the public for its crimes of confrontation with compatriots.

Nevertheless, the puppet authorities are reviving the hideous farce engineered by the Lee regime. After the emergence of the new regime, large-scale nuclear war exercises against the DPRK are being staged in south Korea. The situation reached such phase where U.S. nuclear submarines and B-52 are involved in nuclear bombing drills in south Korea.

The puppet forces will be held fully accountable for the extreme situation on the Korean Peninsula to be entailed by their "punishment" racket over the warship case.
