Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan lawmakers have condemned fellow members who plan to attend former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's state funeral on Sept. 27.
CDPJ leader Kenta Izumi decided party executives would not be attending the funeral, but left it up to the discretion of other members as to whether or not to attend.
Former Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda, a CDPJ lawmaker, has come under fire from within his party since confirming his attendance.
