Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed commentary terms this action a despicable act of treachery to tamper with and stamp out the history of the south Korean people's just struggle for independently carving out their destiny and justify the dictatorial forces' treacherous acts at any cost.

The Lee group's desperate efforts to project itself, talking about what it called "history of miracles," are an intolerable mockery and insult to the south Korean people who have waged a sanguinary struggle for independence, democracy and reunification as it is nothing but an unpopular action of those who regard the people as no more than victims of its treacherous policy, riding roughshod over them, the commentary notes, and goes on:

The racket of tampering with history aimed at justifying the foreign forces' colonial domination, praising the erstwhile treacherous ruling quarters and inciting the hostility toward the DPRK is gaining in scope and strength in south Korea.

It is as clear as noonday that the above-said row is a revelation of the fascist intention to tide over the extremely serious ruling crisis and arrest the people's patriotic struggle for independence, democracy and reunification by calming down the resentment of various circles in south Korea at the treacherous regime, turning all fabrics of society pro-American and conservative and ultra-right and reactionary and spread the venom of inter-Korean confrontation in them.

With no desperate efforts to whitewash the traitors to the nation and distort history can the Lee group cover up the truth of history.

Should the Lee group persist in its moves to tamper with history quite contrary to the trend of the times and the desire of the people it will not be able to escape a miserable doom.
