Head of the AICC Trust Vasan Srinivasan said betweeen yesterday’s inauguration and this evening someone has attempted to decapitate the Mahatma Gandhi statue at the Australian Indian community centre.

“It’s truly saddens us that someone would vandalise the statue within 24 hours of its unveiling. The aim of the statue was to celebrate India’s history its 75th year of India’s independence and highlight the richness of culture across country. It is disappointing to see this level of disrespect of India’s history displayed towards the community in the most multicultural state in Australia. Whilst Mahatma Gandhi may not be a figurehead in wider Australian community his history is well known among all Indians,” said Mr Vasan.
