He added, "This is rooted in deep spirituality and inspired by the Sanatan philosophy of 'Janani Janmabhoomi cha Swargadapi Gariyasi'. My best wishes to Donald Trump as he stands strong," with hashtags "StandWithTrump" and "NationFirst."

The assassination attempt occurred in Pennsylvania's Butler, where a 20-year-old shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired multiple rounds at Trump, injuring him and resulting in the death of one attendee and injuries to two others.

Trump reported that a bullet pierced the upper part of his right ear. The shooter was subsequently gunned down.

US President Joe Biden condemned the incident, stating, "There's no place in America for this kind of violence. It's sick. It's one of the reasons why we have to unite this country... We cannot be like this, we cannot condone this."

"The idea that there's political violence, or violence in America like this, is just unheard of. It's just not appropriate. Everybody, everybody must condemn it," he added.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also condemned the attack, saying, "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."
