At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly today , Floor Leader Han stated, "As controversy (regarding the Hangang Bus) escalated during the parliamentary audit on October 15, the Seoul Metropolitan Government requested a police investigation the following day and is now telling the Democratic Party to stop its 'if not, so what' style political offensive." He then pointed out, "Without answering why they delayed requesting an investigation all this time, they are only blaming the Democratic Party for raising suspicions, which is the height of shamelessness." Floor Leader Han also emphasized, "The Seoul Metropolitan Government must clearly disclose why it withheld requesting an investigation even after drafting the investigation request, whether there were orders to destroy investigation records, and who was involved in that process."
