Priyanka took to Twitter to vent her anguish over the incident, and said, “Few days ago in Uttar Pradesh a statue of B.R. Ambedkar was vandalised by some anti-social elements. Now Gandhiji’s statues has been vandalised in Jalaun.”
“This is the achievement of the cowards in their life, who break the statues of great people by hiding in the darkness of the night and try to insult them. But you cannot move even a fraction of the greatness of these great men by attacking their statues,” she said in a series of tweets.
