THE policy chief of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling party apologized yesterday and withdrew remarks that appeared to make light of the Fukushima nuclear disaster, adding it was up to the premier whether she would keep her job.
In a speech on Monday, LDP policy chief Sanae Takaichi called for the restart of off-line nuclear reactors, noting that no one had died from the March 2011 Fukushima disaster.
There have been no known radiation deaths so far, but more than 1,000 people died from related causes such as suicide and delayed medical care as a result of evacuations.
Takaichi's remarks came under fire from opposition parties, members of her own party and media.
Takaichi said: "It is inexcusable if my remarks caused bitter feelings and anger."
