New Delhi: The Congress party on Thursday expressed concern over violence in the US capital Washington D.C., where a woman was killed after outgoing American President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building, disrupting the functioning of the US Congress while it was in the middle of ratifying Joe Biden’s election as President.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said,  that Scenes from the United States are deeply disturbing. Democracy and freedom are the pillars of America’s greatness. The whole world is watching. May the people of America keep up the dignity of their nation and let the democratic process prevail peacefully.

On Wednesday, Trump-backers stormed the Capitol that houses Congress, TV broadcasts showed what appeared to be flash bombs going off and smoke, which may be from teargas, coming out of a part of the building and some of the mob leaving the area jumping out of a window.

Congress leader and former Union Minister Manish Tewari said: "If peaceful transfer of power can be interrupted in Washington DC, what is the signal being sent out to other right-wing bigots around the world... Mobocracy is Kosher if you lose democratically... very unfortunate... in what happened in USA lies a message."
