Rodong Sinmun Calls for Defending Dignity of Supreme Leadership
Pyongyang, April 17 (KCNA) -- Now the Korean people and the world progressive mankind are significantly celebrating the 101st birth anniversary of President Kim Il Sung as the greatest national holiday and auspicious event common to the nation.

However, only the south Korean puppet forces perpetrated such hideous atrocities as instigating a group of anti-communist gangsters to hold an anti-DPRK meeting in the center of Seoul in broad daylight and hurt the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

The Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army issued an ultimatum to the south Korean puppet group as regards the prevailing acute situation, warning that it will wipe out to the last man those who hurt the dignity of the DPRK's supreme leadership.

Rodong Sinmun Wednesday editorially calls on all service personnel and people to turn out as one in the sacred war for protecting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the country as was stated in the ultimatum.

Hurting and slandering the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK amounts to negating the Korean nation, and an outrageous treason of mangling the hearts of its service persons and people, the editorial says, and goes on:

The south Korean puppet forces' another atrocity beyond imagination was prompted by their dangerous scenario to weaken the reverence of all Koreans for the peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu and break the mainstay of the army and people in the DPRK.

It is the firm will of the army and people of the DPRK to make thousand-fold retaliation against the enemies at any cost wherever they might be.

The world will clearly see how all service personnel and people of the DPRK uphold and protect the dignity of its supreme leadership in the present all-out confrontation with the U.S.
