CPRK Secretariat Blasts Smear Campaign of S. Korean Regime against DPRK

 Pyongyang, April 14 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) Sunday released an open statement denouncing the south Korean regime for driving the inter-Korean relations into a catastrophe through a malignant smear campaign against the DPRK in violation of the agreement between the north and the south.
    Accusing the south Korean authorities of malignant mud-slinging at the DPRK's efforts for dialogue and peace, the statement goes on:
    Looking back on history, the south Korean authorities have not ceased the smear campaign against the DPRK and are still persisting in it.
    This campaign has gone on under the Park Geun Hye regime, too.
    Since the outset of the year, the Park group has gotten frantic with mud-slinging, talking about "the instability of the north's social system" and "provocations." It responded to the historic New Year Address and the important proposal of the DPRK by groundlessly denying and slandering them.
    During her foreign junket on January 18, Park termed the DPRK's important proposal a "propaganda offensive" and cried out for taking a strong security posture to firmly cope with provocations against the south whenever the north launches a propaganda offensive."
    At the prodding of the authorities the conservative media malignantly slandered the proposal of the north as an "appeasement gesture", "camouflaged peace offensive," "red herring for creating instability in the south" and "scheme for sparking conflict in the south."
    The south Korean authorities noisily grumbled about the DPRK's self-defensive nuclear and missile force, terming it "provocation" and "violation" and calling for "sanctions".
    On February 7 Park talked rubbish that "the north is still sticking to the line on simultaneously pushing forward nuclear and economic development and the situation remains unstable." She further said it seems the "north has launched a peace offensive all of a sudden these days, but the south should not slacken the vigilance even under this situation".
    In a congratulatory speech made on March 6, she spoke ill of the north's above-said line and incited confrontation, asserting that it is the nukes of the north that are throwing a stumbling block in the way of economic cooperation between the south and the north."
    Addressing the 3rd "nuclear security summit" held in Netherlands on March 24 she let loose provocative sophism that the settlement of the issue of the north is indispensable for building a world without nuclear weapons and it is necessary to send a stronger message to the north urging it to dismantle its nukes."
    The puppet group has never ceased its malignant smear campaign against the DPRK as regards the "Cheonan" warship sinking case.
    While persisting in its madcap drills for a nuclear war, the puppet clique justified them through sheer sophism.
    Late in March and at the beginning of this month they launched a large-scale joint landing drill aimed at "occupying Pyongyang" and joint air strike exercises Max Thunder designed to make air strikes at all areas of the DPRK, pushing the situation to the brink of war.
    The south Korean authorities' mud-slinging has reached its height by letting loose a whole string of invectives against the dignity and social system of the DPRK.
    Park let loose a torrent of malignant outbursts slandering the DPRK during her German tour in March last. She blabbered that "orphans roaming about streets are not taken care of and they are enduring hunger in the cold due to economic difficulties".
    Daily NK, Chosun Ilbo and other wicked conservative media made such intolerable reckless behavior as daring slander the field guidance given by the supreme leadership of the DPRK to the baby home and orphanage and the election of deputies to the Supreme People's Assembly.
    Espionage and intelligence organs including the Intelligence Service took away those who fled to the third country after committing crimes in the north and abandoning their parents, wives and children and are hurling them into a false propaganda against the DPRK after giving them a petty amount of money. Agents of those institutions are also taking them to foreign countries and using them as "witnesses" in their anti-DPRK smear campaign.
    The puppet group is busy hurling the human scum into the operations for scattering leaflets into areas of the north side.
    The south Korean authorities can never shirk the responsibility for having pushed the inter-Korean relations to catastrophe through the above-said smear campaign against the DPRK.
    They should be careful about their tongue wagging, bearing in mind that their mud-slinging would get them nowhere but ruin and the collapse of the inter-Korean relations.
    If the south Korean authorities persist in their smear campaign against the social system and dignity of the DPRK despite its repeated warnings and denunciation at home and abroad, they will not be able to escape the most shameful fate, cursed and censured by all Koreans. -0-
