Heightened Vigilance against Japan Called for

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries are contemplating a new "defence program" and are conducting an opinion poll on the revision of the constitution of Japan. This reveals the aggressive nature of Japan turning to the Right and heading for its militarization, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. In the new "defence program" the Japanese reactionaries called for establishing a posture for immediate counter-action to defend their territory and founding a "central force for immediate counteraction" for "cooperation in UN peace-keeping operation". This is nothing but a plan for overseas attack and war under the changed conditions and circumstances.
    The Japanese reactionaries are considering defining the participation in the "UN peace-keeping operation" as the major task of the "Self-Defence Forces" in the new program. This is prompted by their intention to dispatch SDF to any part of the world and officially push forward its overseas military operation.
    The U.S. is now escalating its war of aggression worldwide under the pretext of the "war on terrorism" and urging Japan to render active military support to it. Japan is taking this situation as a golden opportunity for revising the article in the present constitution which bans war and going in for overseas aggression without hindrance.
    Moreover, the Japanese reactionaries are stepping up military preparations for overseas aggression without restriction under the pretext of "nuclear and missile threats" from the DPRK, the commentary says, contending that a strong military shield and countermeasure are the best option to retaliate against Japan's dangerous military actions.
