Visit to Yasukuni Shrine under censure

Date: 24/04/2024 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

The Japanese reactionaries visited the Yasukuni Shrine keeping the name tablets of war criminals to make offerings on April 21.

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida dared not visit it for fear of public opinion at home and abroad, but made an offering that day, and the bigwigs of the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors visited the shrine in a stream to make offerings.

The minister for Economic Recovery of Japan praised the war criminals who had died in vain in the war of overseas invasion as “people who devoted their all for the country in the past”, in an interview he gave after visiting the shrine.

The reckless behaviour of the Japanese reactionaries, who visited the shrine where the spectre of militarism hang over and dream the wild dream of reinvasion while praising the war criminals as “patriots”, is a naked insult and challenge to the peoples of those countries subjected to untold misfortunes and suffering by the Japanese imperialists in the past.

They should stop such a folly of visiting the Yasukuni Shrine, oblivious of the past bitter defeat.
