Present there were senior officials of local party and power bodies and working people's organizations, servicepersons, working people, youth and students.

The statement of a spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army was read out at the rallies before speeches were made.

The speakers said that the Lee group can never live under the same sky as it is escalating the hideous provocations against the DPRK despite its repeated warnings.

They exposed the treacherous and anti-reunification crimes by the puppet group which is keen on the unheard-of confrontation racket after bringing the inter-Korean relations to a total catastrophe in collusion with foreign forces.

They slashed at the group's anti-DPRK moves adding to hideous crimes against the fellow countrymen and the nation.

They underlined the need to sharply watch the moves of the enemy, push forward the production and construction with the will to annihilate the enemy and thus bring about a decisive turn in building a rich and powerful country.

Similar rallies are taking place in cities and counties every day.
