The Morning Standard
|December 24, 2024
A statue of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was vandalised in Ahmedabad's Khokhra area on Monday morning, sparking outrage amid the ongoing controversy over a contentious statement by Home Minister Amit Shah in Parliament about the Dalit icon.
The incident occurred outside Jayanti Vakil's Chali, opposite K.K. Shastri College, where miscreants damaged the statue by breaking its nose and glasses. Local passersby discovered the statue's nose damaged. As the news quickly spread, angered residents staged a sit-in protest.
Congress MLA Jignesh Mevani condemned the incident and warned about launching a fierce agitation if swift action is not taken.
