Tokyo: People are protesting against the memorial day of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is proud to be the longest-serving Prime Minister in Japan, was shot dead while participating in an election campaign on July 8.
This shocked not only Japan but the entire world. Shinzo Abe’s body was then cremated with full state honors. In this situation, the former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was murdered in Japan, will be held a memorial program on the 27th. Many world leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi are expected to attend.
In this situation, there has been strong opposition in Japan to hold a government memorial service for Shinzo Abe. Yesterday, hundreds of people gathered in the capital Tokyo to protest, demanding that the government immediately stop the preparations for the memorial service.
Protesters carried banners condemning the government and chanted slogans against Shinzo Abe. People are reportedly protesting against Shinzo Abe and his government for having close ties with a particular religious organization. A few days ago, a 70-year-old man set himself on fire near the prime minister’s office in Tokyo, protesting against a memorial service for Shinzo Abe.
