Lucknow: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Vadra has targeted those who vandalized the statue of Mahatma Gandhi. Priyanka tweeted that"A few days ago the statue of Babasaheb Ambedkar was vandalised by anti-social elements in Uttar Pradesh. Now the statue of Mahatma Gandhi has been broken in Jalaun. The cowards who vandalise statues have only this achievement in their life that they tried to insult the great people hiding in the darkness of the night. You cannot diminish the greatness of these great men by attacking their statues."
