Washington DC (USA), July 02 (ANI): The statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Washington DC in USA, where it was vandalised during ‘Black Lives Matter’ protest was restored to its old glory and inaugurated again in Washington DC. The inauguration was done by U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun and Ambassador of India to the United States Taranjit Singh Sandhu.
