Shinzo Abe, the longest-serving Prime Minister of Japan, is no more; he was a blessing to Japan in multiple ways. The PM was shot dead during his election campaign in the Japanese city of Nara.
As a mark of friendship and respect to the former PM, India observed 9th July as a national mourning day. The country decided to dedicate its tributes on Saturday. The PM was shot dead on Friday.
He changed the foreign policies of Japan, which in the aftermath of the second world war had remained very pacifist in its approach.
The former PM brought Japan back to center stage on the foreign policy front. Both Japan and Indian nations are mourning the loss of such a hard-working PM.
● What did the Doctors say?
In an interview, the doctors stated- ‘He was conscious when brought to this hospital, but then he lost it. He was bleeding in the right chest of his body.’
Shinzo took two gunshot wounds. The gunman was restrained on the spot by the police and taken into custody.
It is still a big question- Why was the man Shinzo Abe, who had stepped down from the chair of the Prime Minister two years ago, the target of this deadly attack?
