Vandalising statues of leaders mad, shameful: Vice President
Condemning the recent instances of vandalism of leaders' statues in various states, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Wednesday termed the incidents as "mad" and "shameful". He told the Rajya Sabha that appropriate authorities will take firm action against the guilty. While two statues of communist icon Lenin were toppled in Tripura, Dravidian leader Periyar's statue was vandalised in Tamil Nadu.
