Deeply concerned by attack on My Friend: PM Modi reacts to shooting at Donald Trump
Prime Minister Narendra Modi condemned the attack on US Presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying that “violence has no place in politics.”
In a post on X, PM Modi said: “Deeply concerned by the attack on my friend, former President Donald Trump. Strongly condemn the incident. Violence has no place in politics and democracies.”
“Wish him a speedy recovery. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased, those injured, and the American people,” the Prime Minister added.
The former US President is doing fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility.
On Saturday, the former US President was shot at an election rally in western Pennsylvania in a possible assassination attempt just a day before the Republican Party is scheduled to begin its convention to formally declare him its nominee for the White House.
“The Secret Service has implemented protective measures, and the former President is safe,” said Anthony Guglielmi, the Chief of Communications for the Secret Service, in a statement.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has identified the person who shot at Trump during an election rally, as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. The police are assessing the motive of the attack.
The Secret Service said that the swift response from the counter-sniper team resulted in a direct headshot, neutralizing Crooks immediately.
