Another California city is preparing a resolution to condemn Osaka Mayor Toru Hashimoto for his comments in May that Japan’s use of sexual slavery during the war was a necessity.

Milpitas, a city of about 66,000 in Silicon Valley, is about 70 km south of San Francisco, which passed a similar resolution against Hashimoto in June.

Introduced last month, the resolution proposed by the Milpitas City Council says it is greatly offended by Hashimoto’s remarks if found to be true, and calls on the U.S. Congress to conduct an investigation into the sex slave issue and the facts surrounding Hashimoto’s statements.
