Washington [US], February 2 (ANI): Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna on Tuesday condemned the vandalisation of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the US state of California and urged the people to take the time to talk instead of resorting to public vandalism.
Earlier this week, a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Central Park of California's Davis city was vandalised and desecrated by unknown miscreants.
"To see the desecration of this magnificent statue only underscores the need for more people to study Gandhi's teachings, not unilaterally erase him from the public discourse. This was a shameful act. At a moment in our history when disagreement needs to be managed with tolerance and patience, I urge everyone involved to take the time to listen and talk instead of resorting to acts of public vandalism," Khanna said in a statement.
