The statement accused the NA Secretariat, a tool of the Lee regime, of having mobilized even riot police for dispersing lawmakers from the Democratic Labor Party and the Democratic Party and party office bearers who had been on a sit-down strike for checking the Lee Myung Bak's moves to railroad evil bills.

It continued:

The bills which the GNP is working hard to railroad through the NA even by resorting to violence, leaving at least 60 wounded, disregarding not only the opinion of the people but their minimum demand for democracy are nothing but undemocratic and unethical bills to serve only the rich and conservative forces.

The GNP will not escape a stern judgment of the people for running amuck, taking advantage of the majority seats it holds in the NA, the statement warned.

Meanwhile, the Emergency Measure Committee for Foiling the Case Cooked up against the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration in south Korea released a statement on Jan. 8 condemning the GNP's suppression of the Democratic Labor Party.

The statement recalled that Kang Ki Gap, representative of the Democratic Labor Party, visited the office of the secretary general of the NA on Jan. 5 to protest against the measure for suppressing opposition parties but the GNP justified the authorities' repressive action, terming the protest "violence" and the like.

Noting that the charge brought by the prosecution against Kang suffices to clearly prove the fact that a new plot is now being hatched to destroy the Democratic Labor Party, the statement declared that it is the wishes of the people to see the GNP to quit the NA and Lee Myung Bak to step down.
