ALBAWABA - After the failed assassination attempt, the popularity of former US president Donald Trump has soared not only in the United States but also in India. A Hindu group organized special prayers for Trump.

The Republican candidate for the 2024 US elections survived an assassination attempt on July 13 after a man named Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire during a rally in Pennsylvania.

A group called Hindu Sena (Hindu Army), a fringe group, which celebrates Donald Trump's birthday every year has made a special praying session to ask god for the protection of the ex-US president. 

According to Reuters, the ceremony was attended by about 50 people, as the group chose Baglamukhi, a goddess associated with power and protection, to be pictured next to Donald Trump. 

The poster had the sentence "Long Live Trump" printed on it in a way to show support for the president who recently survived an assassination attempt. 

According to some social media users, the Hindu group has organized a special paying ceremony to expel 'evil spirits' surrounding Donald Trump, which many claimed to be "behind the attack".
