Phillaur tense as SFJ vandalises glass around Ambedkar statue
Hindustan Times Amritsar
|April 01, 2025
Tension gripped Nangal village in Phillaur subdivision of Jalandhar district on Monday after the banned terror outfit, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), disfigured the protective glass installed around the statue of BR Ambedkar.
JALANDHAR:
Police said the incident came to light in the morning when pro-Khalistan and anti-Constitution slogans were found spray-painted on the glass shield by unidentified SFJ supporter(s). A banner was also put up.
SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannu took responsibility for the vandalism, claiming that "it's just a trailer" and threatened to remove all Ambedkar statues from Punjab before his birth anniversary on April 14.
Jalandhar Rural police deployed heavy security in the village as members of the Dalit community gathered at the spot.
