Hindu group performs rituals for Trump's safety: Video

Priests and members of the Hindu Sena group held pictures of former US President Donald Trump as they performed Hindu fire rituals, for his well-being and long life after he survived an assassination bid, at a temple in New Delhi.

Nearly 50 people attended the ceremony where an idol of Baglamukhi, a goddess symbolizing power and protection, was placed next to a poster of the former U.S. president bearing the message "Long Live Trump."

Two days after escaping an assassination attempt, Donald Trump arrived Monday to ovations at the Republican convention in Milwaukee, which officially designated him as the party's candidate for the presidential election on November 5, 2024.

"As you know Donald Trump was attacked, a bullet grazed his ear, and he could have died. This is the work of the people who do not believe in humanity, peace and have Jihadi mindset. They do not want Donald Trump to be the American President again," Vishnu Gupta, National President, of Hindu Sena said.

"We prayed to god that the enemies of Donald Trump must get wiped out and bestow upon him special blessings," he added.
