"Cowards, who break the statues of great people in the darkness of the night, this is your achievement in life", she tweeted in Hindi.
"You try to insult them? You cannot shake even a fraction of the greatness of these great men by attacking their statues", she added.
According to reports, local people protested at the college compound over the vandalisation of statue, which was installed in 1970.
