N Korea demands from S Korea to stop sending propaganda leaflets.

PYONGYANG, January 13 (Itar-Tass) -- North Korea demanded from South Korea to stop sending propaganda leaflets containing critical remarks on the North Korean leadership.

Pyongyang "will not tolerate any encroachments on the absolute authority of the country's leadership and (any attempts to undermine) the dignity of the Socialist homeland," a
spokesman for the North Korean People's Army said in a statement made
public by the KCNA news agency on Wednesday.
"The anti-North Korean actions taken by the South Korean authorities
distributing the leaflets violate the agreements fixed in the
declarations, which North and South Koreas concluded on June 15 and
October 4," the spokesman said. The foresaid documents were adopted at the
two Korean summits in 2000 and 2007, when the countries expressed
readiness to refrain from mutual encroachments.
Several South Korean non-governmental organizations are sending the
propaganda leaflets to North Korea. However, Pyongyang stated that these
propaganda actions are taken "under the patronage and with abetment" of
the South Korean authorities.
"The South Korean authorities should disband immediately ultra right
conservative organizations, which are involved in the distribution of
leaflets, and should punish strictly the major culprits (of these
incidents)," the spokesman said.
