Cannot harm greatness of Mahatma Gandhi, Ambedkar by attacking their statues: Priyanka

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi on Saturday hit out at those who vandalised Mahatma Gandhi's statue at a Jalaun college in Uttar Pradesh saying the "cowards" who hide in the darkness of the night, cannot diminish greatness of great men by such attacks.

"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 Congress general secretary tweeted in Hindi.

"The cowards who vandalise statues have only this achievement in their life that they tried to insult great people hiding in the darkness of the night," Ms Gandhi said, adding, "you cannot diminish the greatness of these great men by attacking their statues."
