Independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon again rejected claims by the ruling bloc that the prosecution's investigation of late President Roh Moo-hyun was fabricated.
In a Facebook post on the 3rd, Han said the investigation of Roh "was not a fabrication but a fact," adding that "Roh himself issued a public apology and did not say the prosecution's investigation was fabricated."
Han went on to criticize the ruling bloc's assertion as "gaslighting of the public." He argued that "the public gaslighting that Roh fell victim to a fabricated investigation is a fiction created for their own benefit by the Democratic Party political forces who, at the time, pointed fingers at Roh all the more eagerly for fear of being caught in the fallout — not by Roh."
Han also disputed the argument that the abolition of the Prosecution Service is justified by a fabricated investigation of Roh. "The Democratic Party's 20 years of gaslighting — that scrapping the prosecution system is revenge for Roh, who was unjustly subjected to a fabricated investigation — is a fiction," he said.
Han has posted a series of messages on the prosecution's investigation of Roh in the run-up to the abolition of the Prosecution Service. Figures in the ruling bloc have pushed back, touching off a public dispute.
