Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Sunday says the puppet authorities have no face to talk about the reunion of the divided families and their relatives.

The reunion of divided families and their relatives has not yet been realized, a tragedy caused by the puppet group which is keen on escalating confrontation with compatriots in the north while abusing the north-south relations for meeting their sinister political purposes, the commentary notes, and goes on:

Clear is why the puppet group raised the reunion issue of divided families and their relatives though they have driven the situation into the worst phase to prevent any dialogue and cooperation from being realized between the north and the south. They are seeking to shift the blame for the bedeviled inter-Korean relations on to the DPRK by behaving as if they were interested in the humanitarian issue, and to appease the people's mindset in a bid to tide over the daily deepening regime's crisis. It is foolish for them to think that they can deceive the world people with such ridiculous remarks.

The south Korean puppet group will be made to pay a dear price for the unpardonable crimes it committed by blocking the reunion of divided families and their relatives.
