Okinawa minister draws criticism

Yosuke Tsuruho, minister in charge of affairs in Okinawa, heads to a Cabinet meeting on Nov. 8, 2016, at the prime minister's office in Tokyo. Tsuruho's refusal to label a riot police officer's ethnic slur against local anti-U.S. military base protesters in Okinawa as discriminatory has drawn criticism from the opposition bloc, with Democratic Party leader Renho saying on Nov. 9 that Tsuruho is not qualified to tackle Okinawa issues.
