Shias stage protest killing of Iran gen
Kanpur: Scores of Shia Muslims staged a protest at Gandhi statue in Phoolbagh area of the city on Sunday against the killing of Iran's Quds army General Qasem Soleimani in a drone attack by the USA.
General Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran's elite Quds force and the mastermind of its regional security strategy, was killed in an airstrike on early Friday near Iraqi capital's international airport.
The protesters also urged President Ram Nath Kovind to order strict action against a TV news channel for projecting General Qasem Soleimani as a terrorist. "We have faxed a memorandum to President Ram Nath Kovind seeking action against a TV news channel which projected General Qasem Soleimani as a terrorist'," said a group of Shia protesters.
