In Kanpur's Phoolbagh area, Shia Muslims staged a protest on Sunday evening against the killing of Iran's Quds army General Qasem Soleimani in a drone attack by the US.
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 Friday in Baghdad
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 the group of Shia protesters.IANS
