Withdrawal of "motion of troop dispatch" urged in S. Korea
KCNA
Pyongyang, March 30 (KCNA) -- The south headquarters of the National Alliance of Youth and Students for the Country's Reunification reportedly issued a statement on March 26, denouncing the authorities for attempt to pass a "motion of troop dispatch" to the Iraqi war through the "National Assembly".
The statement said it is ridiculous for the authorities to insist on the passage of the motion as an "unavoidable thing" and "inevitable and strategic option" when protests against the U.S. war of aggression on Iraq are growing worldwide.
The dispatch of troops will be as good as an act of adding fuel to the war, not ensuring peace in this land, it noted, and said:
The authorities and the ruling and opposition parties' attempt for it is a modern version of the slogan "involvement in the imperial army's war" put by the pro-Japanese elements during the Japanese imperialists' occupation of Korea.
They should clearly know that they will face a punishment by the people if they railroad the motion, the statement said, urging the authorities to withdraw the motion from the "National Assembly" at once and clarify the stand for peace against the war.
