Aide Isozaki apologizes for remarks
by a special committee member of the House of Councillors.
August 3, 2015, Tokyo, Japan - Yosuke Isozaki, a senior adviser to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abeis, apologizes for a gaffe he made as he is summoned as an unsworn witness by the panel in Tokyo on Monday, August 3, 2015. Isozaki said recently that the legality of the contentious security bills currently being deliberated in the upper house was unimportant as was their consistency with the Constitution. His comment infuriated the opposition camp, which is now demanding his resignation. Seated in the background are, Defense Miniser Gen Nakatani, left, and Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida.
