Pyongyang, November 6 (KCNA) -- Coteries of the Grand National Party of south Korea including Pak Hui Thae let loose a spate of jargons over "the human rights issue in the north," echoing the words uttered by riff-raffs of some other country at a recent "general meeting." This comes under fire by a signed commentary of Minju Joson today.

Their outbursts are a deliberate provocation getting on the nerves of the army and people of the DPRK, the commentary notes, and goes on:

There has been no "human rights issue" and it can never exist under the socialist system in the DPRK where all state policies and activities are aimed to protect the sovereign rights and dignity of human beings.

The GNP gentries are letting loose jargons about the "human rights issue in the north" in collusion with riff-raffs of other country though they are in such a pretty fix that they can hardly settle their own problem. How shameless and ridiculous they are. Their behavior is intolerable as it is a deliberate act to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen, totally block the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration and further bedevil the inter-Korean relations.

All the fellow countrymen wish to see the earliest improvement of the north-south relations which has been put at the lowest ebb by the Lee Myung Bak group's treacherous and anti-reunification moves.

However, the Lee group is still persisting in its reckless acts of bedeviling the inter-Korean relations and stoking enmity and distrust between compatriots without hesitation, utterly indifferent to the desire of the fellow countrymen. The ruckus kicked up by the GNP gentries over the "human rights issue in the north" is part of such moves. This once again clearly proves that the GNP is a group of traitors and anti-reunification elements seeking not national reconciliation and unity and reunification, but confrontation with the north and permanent division and a war.

The GNP's desperate efforts to prevent the inter-Korean relations from improving and escalate the confrontation with the north and the moves for a war against it would only give further momentum to the nationwide anti-Lee Myung Bak, anti-GNP struggle.

The Lee group had better bear this in mind and stop peddling "the human rights issue in the north," a factor of deteriorating the inter-Korean relations, and mind its own business.
