Rodong Sinmun Wednesday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

Traitor Lee's reckless action is part of a vicious artifice to fan up the campaign to "eliminate the forces following the north", while taking issue with the DPRK.

It is none other than the Lee group of traitors who must stand trial for their unpardonable crimes.

Lee is finding himself in trouble in face of the active struggle of the opposition parties and people from all walks of life to disclose and condemn its fascist arbitrariness, irregularities and corruption.

His remarks are aimed to implant extreme hostility towards the DPRK in the mind of people in south Korea in a bid to intensify the campaign to "eliminate the forces following the north"

Lee let loose a string of virulent invectives against the DPRK and the progressive forces in south Korea, citing "forces following the north". It is the last-ditch efforts by a person at deathbed.

Approaching fast is the day when the group of traitors will be tried by history.
