Rodong Sinmun Sheds Light on Purpose of Group Visit to Yasukuni Shrine in Japan
Pyongyang, October 23 (KCNA) -- After Prime Minister of Japan Abe made an offering to the Yasukuni Shrine, more than 90 Cabinet officers and dietmen paid a group visit to the shrine recently.

The minister of Internal Affairs and some other politicians individually visited the shrine.

Commenting on this, Minju Joson Wednesday says:

Such behavior of the Japanese politicians is just an open challenge and insult to the international community demanding Japan's atonement for the past crimes and aspiring after global peace and to those who sustained miserable fate due to Japan.

The Japanese reactionaries' persistent group visit to the shrine can be said prompted by their twisted outlook on history. But the point is the goal they seek.

They seek to use the shrine as an ideological base for reviving militarism. In other words, they are working hard to spread militarism over the Japanese society through their group visit to the shrine, instill ultra-nationalism into the rising generation and lead Japan to a war again.

Japan has already secured military muscle strong enough to go to war by accelerating the moves for emerging as a military giant. What remains to be done is to revise the constitution to establish a legal foundation for war and create a social and political atmosphere and condition for it.

To attain such urgent goal, the Japanese reactionaries are flocking to the Yasukuni Shrine, letting out sophism to justify their visit.

Japan is dashing toward war due to the reckless behavior of the Japanese politicians.

If they follow in the footsteps of the war criminals who led Japan to defeat, it will bring ruin to Japan again.
