Several eminent personalities took to Twitter to express their concern over the news. “The plot to assassinate the Prime Minister of the largest democracy is a desperate attempt by anti-national elements to destabilise the country. This is not an attack on just an individual but on the people of the entire nation. Let’s stand united against such destructive forces,” tweeted spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
