The statue was found vandalised when some persons reached there to clean the place to mark the birth anniversar­y.

“I condemn this act of violence. I urge the Punjab chief minister to take the issue of vandalism seriously,” Qadian Congress MLA and leader of opposition in the Punjab assembly Partap Singh Bajwa said, disclosing this incident on the social media.
