KIZ Crisis Is Attributable to S. Korean Authorities: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- As regards the important steps taken by the DPRK over the Kaesong Industrial Zone (KIZ), the south Korean authorities have recently let loose such sheer sophism that "the north closed KIZ which was in good operation" and "the north should make proper option." The "Saenuri Party" and ultra-right conservative media are also spreading false rumor to give impression that the DPRK is putting pressure on them over the issue of KIZ, with such rhetoric of the "height of pressure on the south" and "strangling under careful scenario."

Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Sunday says the responsibility for the KIZ crisis rests with the south Korean group of traitors as it reduced the zone to the source of war provocation regarding it as the last target of its confrontation moves against fellow countrymen.

The puppet forces who have systematically destroyed the work of KIZ are taking issue with the DPRK, a shameless act reminding one of a thief crying "Stop the thief!", the news analyst notes, and goes on:

They try to make the public convince that they are interested in the KIZ issue while making groundless remarks. Lurking behind this is their sinister intention. They seek to cover up their crimes of putting the situation of KIZ at the risk of complete closure, evade the public criticism and shift the blame on to the DPRK.

With no sophism and smear campaign can they evade the responsibility for the worst crisis of KIZ.

They had better behave themselves, bearing in mind that their provocative remarks would bring the work of KIZ to a total collapse.
