Taranjit Singh Sandhu Condemns Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump
Amritsar (Punjab) [India], July 15: Former Ambassador of India to the United States and BJP leader Taranjit Singh Sandhu condemned the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump on Saturday. He stated that violence has no place in a democratic system. Sandhu remarked, “The elections of every democratic nation are complex. This assassination attempt will divert the attention of people away from the political race for a while.”
Sandhu emphasized that there is no space for violence in any democratic nation and noted that political parties will start nominating their candidates in the next two to three weeks, which will increase tension. He said, “As the parties will start naming their candidates in the upcoming weeks, the air will become crackling with palpable tension.”
Foreign affairs expert Robinder Sachdev reflected on the escalating political divisions in the United States following the assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. Sachdev stated, “Violence can never be the answer, but sometimes it does,” addressing the deep-seated animosities in American politics. He added, “The divides in America right now have perhaps become so very deep that both sides are very angry at each other and both sides are very afraid of each other.”
Sachdev explained that Republican conservatives are very afraid of the Biden Democrats, and similarly, the Biden Democrats and the left are very afraid of Trump, fearing what he might do if he returns to power.
