|July 08, 2024
THOUSANDS of people gathered at the corporation school ground in Perambur to pay respects to K Armstrong, state chief of BSP who was murdered on Friday.
Despite the soaring heat in the afternoon, the crowd of mourners continued to wait in line and offer their respects. Many of them had come to take a glimpse of Armstrong for the first and last time.
R Panidan of Vyasarpadi, who is working in a private company said, “I’m not from any party but I have seen Armstrong’s videos on YouTube. Through him I got to know about the teachings of Br Ambedkar and Buddha. I then read a lot more about them on my own. I have not met him personally but after I heard about his murder, I wanted to come and see him.”
Just a couple of hundred metres from the school ground was the spot where Armstrong was hacked to death by the gang.
