Punish Ambedkar statue vandals: Lok Satta

The Lok Satta Party today demanded that the Government take stringent and exemplary action against all those who desecrated or damaged or destroyed Dr. Ambedkar’s statues at Amalapuram in East Godavari district. All the criminals including those who instigated them should be brought to book irrespective of their status or the party to which they belong.

Lok Satta Party Working President D. V. V. S. Varma pointed out in a media statement that criminals had resorted to vandalism to serve their local political interests. By treating Dr. Ambedkar as the representative of a particular caste or section, the vandals have insulted the nation.

Mr. Varma appealed to all sections of people to observe restraint and expose those who vandalized the statues of the nation builder.

Dr. JP said, "There has been a decline in the quality of life and public discourse since persons of the caliber and stature of Mr. Rajalingam were not allowed to play a crucial role."
