The statue of Mahatma Gandhi outside Indian Embassy in Washington DC was desecrated on Saturday during a protest organised in support of farmers against farm laws. A Khalistan flag was draped over the statue. "The Embassy strongly condemns this mischievous act by hooligans masquerading as protesters against the universally respected icon of peace and justice," it said in a statement.
