Reacting to Mahatma Gandhi's statue being found vandalised in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh, the Congress leader while speaking to reporters said: "Destroying (Mahatma) Gandhi's statue, abusing Gandhi, insulting Gandhi...such incidents are increasing after BJP government came in Centre. And their MPs and Ministers are talking against Gandhi. They want to destroy not only Gandhi's philosophy but Gandhi's name itself."
