The shocking killing of Armstrong, head of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), has caused a wave of anger in Tamil Nadu's political and film communities. Vijay, an actor and head of Tamil Nadu Vetri Kazhagam, was the first person in the movie business to say how angry he was on social media.

After Vijay's comments, Kamal Haasan, the leader of the Makkal Neethi Maiam Party, and Sarathkumar, who is the leader of the BJP, both spoke out against it. It was shocking and sad that Armstrong, a lawyer and the state head of the BSP, had been killed so badly, as they said in their statements.

It is shocking and painful that Armstrong, the state president of the Bahujan Samaj Party and a lawyer, was brutally hacked to death, Kamal Haasan said in a statement. I am very sorry for his family's loss and send my respects to the Bahujan Samaj Party. The people of the Scheduled Caste will miss him because he always spoke up for the weak.

The killing of a state leader of a national party by mercenaries in a busy area is highly condemnable, Sarathkumar said to stress how serious the situation was. I want the Tamil Nadu government to punish the people responsible for this right away.

Armstrong lived in Perampur, Chennai, and was talking to some people near his home when six unknown attackers on a two-wheeler killed him tragically by cutting him with a knife. The event, which happened in a public place at 7:30 PM, has devastated and broken the community.

More and more of these kinds of killings show that law and order are breaking down, which is a bad sign. The cops need to quickly find the criminals and bring them to justice. The overflow of condolences from many sources shows how sad and angry many people are about Armstrong's untimely death.

The leaders' words show that they all want strict measures to be put in place to stop these horrible crimes and keep everyone safe.
