KMT calls for boycott of DPP plebiscite on UN bid

Meanwhile, DPP presidential candidate Frank Hsieh's (謝長廷) campaign team yesterday lambasted the KMT for its contradictory position and "two-faced tactics" on the referendum.

"On the one hand, it seems it is in favor of the referendum, but on the other, it is boycotting it. This is dishonest," Hsieh spokesman Cheng Wen-tsang (鄭文燦) said.

As a responsible party, the KMT owes the public a clear account on where it stood or it would be cheating its supporters, Cheng said.
