The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Kaieda insulted heroes of the Tokyo Fire Department hyper rescue team that was working desperately.

Trade and Industry Minister Kaieda of the Democratic Party made remarks on pressure with "I would dispose of human affairs to you if you didn't work promptly" to the executive of the Tokyo Fire Department hyper rescue team concerning work of draining water off with the first nuclear power plant in Fukushima.

Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara, who is also the high command of Tokyo Fire Department, met Prime Minister Naoto Kan in Prime Minister's Office on the afternoon of the 21st, and protested strongly for the above-mentioned.

According to Mr. Ishihara, the Prime Minister said "I apologize. I am really sorry."

We must never forgive Kaieda of the Democratic Party who insulted heroes of the Tokyo Fire Department hyper rescue team that was working desperately.
