Mahatama Gandhi Statue In New York Vandalised, 6 Men Used Sledgehammer To Deface Bust

A statue of Mahatma Gandhi outside a temple in Queens, New York was destroyed by miscreants in a second such attack in two weeks. The New York Post reported that six men smashed the Gandhi statue to pieces around 1:30 am on Tuesday and painted it with obscenities. The 111th Street’s road near the temple in Queens where the incident took place was also sprayed with obscene words. Two weeks earlier, on August 3, the same statue, standing outside the Shri Tulsi Mandir for 7 years, had been knocked over, prompting community-wide outrage over increasing hate crimes across the country. The second attack saw the statue completely demolished. Suspects, described to be 25 to 30 years old, went at it with a sledgehammer, according to the police. “To know that Gandhi represents peace and somebody would come and just target the statue and vandalize it, it’s very sad,” Pandit Lakhram Maharaj, the founder of the Shri Tulsi Mandir in South Richmond Hill, was quoted in the Queens Courier. New York State Assembly member Jennifer Rajkumar tweeted condemning the incident and of working towards peaceful ways to “combat anti-Hindu hate”. She also called for “the perpetrators to be apprehended swiftly, charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law”. #GandhiJi #NewYork #GandhiStatue Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
