“As a mark of our deepest respect for former Prime Minister Abe Shinzo, a one day national mourning shall be observed on 9 July 2022,” PM Modi said in a tweet.
The prime minister, after discussing responses to the attack with National Public Safety Commission Chairperson Ninoyu Satoshi, Justice Minister Furukawa Yoshihisa, and others for about 20 minutes on Friday afternoon, told officials never to yield to violence and terrorism.
Former Indian Ambassador to China, Gautam Bambawale, had said that the shooting act at former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is shocking to everyone as Japan is a peace-loving country.
