Army Soldier Prabhu’s Death: BJP To Conduct A Fast And Lead A Protest March To The War Memorial In Chennai On 21 February To Condemn DMK’s Attitude, Says Annamalai

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president, K Annamalai said that the party would conduct a fast on 21 February at Sivananda Salai in Chennai with the participation of ex-servicemen to condemn the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam’s (DMK) attitude towards the death of army soldier Prabhu.

Following that, on the same day, a protest march would be conducted from Omandurar Hospital to the War Memorial in Chennai.

Prabhu died of injuries that he sustained in a brutal assault by DMK councillor Chinnaswamy and his associates. The attack happened after an argument between him and Chinnaswamy over washing of clothes at a water tank near Prabhu’s house.

While the police have arrested all the accused in the case, issues like the DMK spokesperson TKS Elangovan calling it a ‘small thing’, and Chief Minister MK Stalin avoiding questions on the subject have drawn flak from the opposition.
