PM Modi 'distressed' to see violence news in US Capitol

New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday morning shared that he is distressed to see the news reports of violence coming from the US Capitol, where a woman has lost her life and many people have been injured during the clash with the police.

He also hoped for peaceful transition from old government to the new government in the US.

"Distressed to see news about rioting and violence in Washington DC. Orderly and peaceful transfer of power must continue. The democratic process cannot be allowed to be subverted through unlawful protests," PM Modi tweeted.
