Published By admin with Comments 0
Tokyo, Feb. 19 (Jiji Press)–The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan on Monday submitted a no-confidence motion against education minister Masahito Moriyama over his alleged relationship in the past with a group linked to the controversial religious organization Unification Church.
The CDP claimed that Moriyama is not qualified for the ministerial post because he has not fulfilled his accountability over the matter.
The motion, presented to the House of Representatives, is likely to be voted down by the Liberal Democratic Party-led ruling bloc at a plenary meeting of the lower chamber of the Diet, the nation’s parliament, Tuesday afternoon.
