India Condemns Vandalism of Gandhi Statue in Australia

India has condemned the recent vandalism and removal of a Mahatma Gandhi statue in Melbourne’s Glen Eira suburb. The statue, symbolizing India’s historical ties with Australia, was defaced and taken down by unidentified individuals.

The motive behind the act is unclear, but it may be linked to global debates over monuments of historical figures. The Indian government has urged Australian authorities to take swift action, emphasizing the importance of protecting such symbols. Australian authorities have begun an investigation, though no arrests have been made as of now.
