Opposition parties on Thursday harshly criticized the government's handling of the troubled Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan during a Lower House committee meeting that resumed after a one-day opposition-camp boycott.
The opposition called for full disclosure of LTCB's financial situation if taxpayers' money is to be pumped into the bank.
The special committee for financial system stabilization was formed to debate a package of bills including the "bridge bank" bill, but focused on LTCB instead.
