Calls are growing louder in both the ruling and opposition camps for Prime Minister Naoto Kan to step down over his alleged remark that evacuees from around the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant "will not be able to return for 10 to 20 years."
Kenichi Matsumoto, an advisor to the Kan administration, said Wednesday the prime minister made the remark during talks the two had that day. Kan has strongly denied Matsumoto's claim.
