Indian Political Parties Condemn Violent Attack on Trump, Urge Reason Over Violence

The Bihar Congress also condemned the violent attack in the strongest terms, saying the tendency to resolve ideological differences with violence has been red-eyed. State spokesperson Asit Nath Tiwari asserted that dissent should be responded to with reason and opinions, not gunshots. Disagreeing with Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi's controversial statement about the US, the Congress added that it is the responsibility of mankind to maintain peace in any corner of the earth instead of calling it hell. Various political parties in the country, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have condemned the attack on Trump. Indian leaders have unanimously acknowledged that such incidents are not just an attack on an individual but an attack on the democratic system. While the US authorities are currently ramping up investigations under international pressure, the incident is also being debated in India's political circles.
