on July 16, 2024, former United States President Donald Trump was shot when he was addressing an election rally. Providence helped him escape the attempt. The incident is being seen in the backdrop of intense, acerbic fight for the Presidentship between the Democrats and the Republicans. While Trump, and the current incumbent Joe Biden sought to present a brave, united picture, there is also indication that the acrimonious pitch of the electoral fight could have had something to do with the youngster, shot dead on the spot by the security forces, taking an attempt at Trump's life.
The incident has echoed in India also, as there seems to be a similarity in the electoral pitch and the language used by Trump's political opponents and the opposition in India. For instance, a language insinuating physical violence on Trump matched with that of some of the main opposition leaders in India using a similar language for the current incumbent Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the run up to the 2024 general elections. Also, in the US, a fear was raised that a Trump win will mean no further elections; it was exactly the same what the opposition here was trying to convey to the people in a bid to defeat Modi.
As it is, assassinations of top national leaders have changed the course of history, even triggered a World War. India has seen its Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and a former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi being assassinated due to various reasons. Their assassinations also led to repercussions that have not yet been fully assessed; or are still making an impact on the current history of India.
But, there is one man, who is currently leading India through a journey that is destined to prove historical in the long run, not to mention several other achievements and smashing of old records along the way. We are talking about our Prime Minister Narendra Damodar Das Modi.
However, while we bask in the glory coming India's way, thanks to his leadership, we forget that there are forces that do not want him to be on the horizon. More importantly, they have been on his pursuit, so to speak, even before he became PM.
Dark forces have merged with Machiavellian activism, sensationalist media peddling spurious stories, and an unscrupulous political lot guilty of chronic and outrageous misuse of key institutions, all with the brazen disregard to national security, to unleash disconcerting attempts on Narendra Modi's life.
