Anniversary of Kim Jong Il's Start of Songun Leadership Marked in India
Pyongyang, August 30 (KCNA) -- A seminar, book and photo exhibition, film show and lecture took place in India from August 21 to 24 to mark the 52nd anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of Songun revolutionary leadership.

Anita Chopra, president of the Indian Working Women Society for Study of the Juche Philosophy, in a seminar said that Kim Jong Il made a long journey for Songun all his life to put the military power of the DPRK on the highest level, adding that thanks to his devotion the Korean people could protect socialism from the imperialists' moves to stifle the DPRK.

B. C. Gupta, chairman of the Juche Idea Study Society of Indian Delhi, noted that Kim Jong Il held higher the banner of Songun to cope with the undisguised anti-socialist moves of the imperialist forces at the end of the last century. He directed primary efforts into the development of the People's Army and defence industry, turning the whole country into an impregnable fortress, the chairman noted.

The DPRK will surely achieve the country's reunification, the cherished desire of the nation, as it is led by the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un who successfully carries forward the Songun leadership of Kim Jong Il, he added.

Wipin Gupta, chairman of the Juche Philosophy Study Committee of India, in a lecture said that Kim Jong Il dedicated his whole life only to the people's happiness.

Thanks to his dedication the Korean people have grown to be ones with strong independence, he added.
