More vandalism: Periyar's statue in TN and SP Mukherjee's statue in Kokata targeted

The razing of Communist hero Lenin's statue in Tripura on Monday an act condoned by some BJP leaders - appears to have sparked a wave of similar actions across the country by BJP workers. But backlash has been swift and retaliatory vandalism by opposition supporters has also begun, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to today condemn all such acts of destruction.
