According to sources, it is for the first time that such an incident has happened in Chandigarh.

After the news of defacement spread in the city, Congress, Bhartiya Janata Party and Bajrang Dal members reached the area and raised slogans of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’.

“This is an unfortunate incident and the person responsible will not be spared,” said secretary Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Shashi Shankar Tiwari.
