A horrible and devious act unfolded in a New York City vicinity on Saturday,striking surprise to the onlookers.
A bronze life-size statue of the great Mahatma Gandhi was vandalized in Manhattan’s Union Square, by a group of unknown people. An act condemned as “despicable” by the Consulate General of India, everyone felt a pang of pain, pierce through their heart.
As a normal person, one would look up to Gandhiji, in respect, in high regard to someone so great, to someone so influential. Although, our social culture has changed, and some people have changed along with that too. Seeing as there has been action taken on this matter, the General Consulate of India will surely look into it.
“The matter has also been taken up with the US State Department for immediate investigation and urged appropriate action against those responsible for this despicable act.” Stated the General Consulate of India.
The White House Press Secretary has some things to say about the “terrible” incident.
“No statue or memorial should be desecrated and certainly not one like that of Gandhi, who fought for the values of peace, Justice and freedom.”
As these were also the emotions of each and every single individual who happens to cross the memorial on Saturday.
This is a shocking zap back into reality for Indian-Americans as they now realize this shocking incident.
Many People have also been reminded of flashbacks that happened in mid-December near the US State of California, as once again, mysterious miscreants disrespected the greatness of Mahatma Gandhi.
A driving force in today’s world, we still uphold the values that Mr. Gandhi taught us. We are sure that this problem should be addressed in a way that such incidents should not occur in the future .
