The commentary charged that the chairman of the policy committee of the party that day blustered it was the basic stand that the ferry Sewol sinking was basically a traffic accident and compensation should, therefore, not exceed that paid to the victims of the Cheonan warship sinking case.

It branded this as reckless remarks once again rubbing salt in the wounds of the bereaved families of the victims struggling to seek a proper probe into the truth about the disaster.

The chairman repeated absurd assertions that probe into the truth and investigation cannot be mixed, suggesting his intention to reduce the fact-finding committee to be set up by a special law to a mere name, it noted.

Bitterly rapping the reckless remarks which fully revealed the true colors of the "Saenuri Party", the commentary demanded the chairman step down.
