KMT backs second 319 committee

HERE WE GO AGAIN Party chairman Lien Chan and would-be successors Wang Jin-pyng and Ma Ying-jeou vowed to form a new committee during yesterday's rally

Ma, who took the stage immediately after Wang, also called for a second investigative committee.

He said Taipei City Government was the only government body that had provided assistance to the committee during its deliberations.

"Every level of government refused to help the committee, with the exception of the Taipei City Government. The reason why we lent a hand was because we wanted to find out the truth," Ma said.

One incident leads to another, Ma said. If the shooting had not happened, cross-strait ties would not have deteriorated and China would not have passed the law.

The march began at Sungshan Tobacco Factory at 2:30pm. Sporting national flags, black balloons and headbands saying "Democracy, peace and truth," the marchers walked along Zhongxiao East Road and Renai Road before arriving at the evening rally.
