Pyongyang, September 4 (KCNA) -- The Solidarity for Progress of south Korea issued a commentary as regards the replacement of the minister of "Unification" on August 31.

The commentary said that Hyon In Thaek was released from office of minister of "Unification" but the authorities appointed him as a special aide to "president" for unification policy and clarified that they would "maintain the consistency of the unification policy". This indicates that there is no change in their "policy towards the north" in fact, it added.

Saying that they can not deceive the people with the personnel reshuffle without policy switchover, the commentary urged the "government" to make fundamental change in the confrontation policy and make efforts to normalize the south-north relations.

If the "government" is set to temporarily tide over a political crisis, it will not be able to escape a severe judgment by the people, the commentary warned.
