New Delhi, Jun 8 (PTI) Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi on Saturday condemned the attack on Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
Frederiksen suffered a minor whiplash after a man assaulted her in central Copenhagen.
“Deeply concerned by the news of the attack on Mette Frederiksen, Denmark’s Prime Minister. We condemn the attack. Wishing good health to my friend,” Modi said on X.
