Shinzo Abe’s funeral : Let us tell you that Abe was assassinated on July 8 when he was addressing a public meeting during the election campaign. Abe was cremated in July at a temple in Tokyo in the presence of very close people. Today his state funeral program has been kept, so that world leaders and their supporters can pay tribute to him. However, hundreds of people took out a march on the outskirts of the city to protest against the funeral.
Some people were seen playing drums and many shouting during this. These people also held placards in which slogans were written against the state funeral. The protesters said that Shinzo Abe did nothing for the common man. However, the government has consistently made it clear that no one was pressured to pay tribute to Abe through a state funeral.
