Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday condemned the attack on former US President Donald Trump, stating that violence has no place in any democracy and civilized society.

Trump sustained injuries after being shot in the ear during an apparent assassination attempt at an election rally in Pennsylvania. A male attacker was subsequently shot and killed by a Secret Service agent.

In a post on X, Kharge expressed deep shock over the incident, urging for the preservation of democratic values. He extended India's condolences to the American people, especially to the family of the deceased.

The US Secret Service disclosed that Trump, 78, was struck in the upper part of his right ear by a bullet fired from an elevated position outside the rally venue in Butler. The attack also resulted in one spectator's death and critical injuries to two others.

Secret Service agents quickly surrounded Trump, with blood visible on his right ear, and escorted him off the stage to safety.
