Minju Joson Tuesday observes in a signed commentary carried in this regard: This is nothing but a claim that in order to cope with the daily increasing "threat" Japan should rewrite Article 9 of the Constitution, regain the right to possess an army and the right to participate in war and legitimately exercise the right to collective self-defense.

By letting loose a spate of reactionary sophism peppered with lies and deception the above-said paper revealed itself its despicable true colors as a mouthpiece for the militarists.

It is a groundless far-fetched assertion that the DPRK's nuclear deterrent and the development of China pose a "threat" to the security of Japan.

Security threat is not coming from the DPRK but from Japan.

Such riffraffs as the editorial staff of Sankei Shimbun and reactionaries of Japan are raising a hue and cry over the "theory of threat from north Korea" in a bid to give further momentum to social atmosphere of inciting militarism.

The Japanese reactionaries are now working hard to infuse such idea of overseas aggression and the spirit of ultra-nationalism into the people. Sankei Shimbun is keen to play a big role in this campaign.

The Japanese reactionaries would be well advised to behave themselves, well aware that the moves for overseas aggression and expansion lead to their self-destruction.
