Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday expressed deep concern over the attack on former United States president Donald Trump, and said violence has no place in politics and democracies.

Trump's campaign said that he was 'doing well' after an assassination attempt at his election rally in Pennsylvania.

Modi said on X, '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 speedy recovery.'

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the deceased, those injured and the American people, he added.
