Karimnagar/Hyderabad, April 14 (Maxim News): Ambedkar’s 135th birth anniversary celebrations are being celebrated with great fanfare across the country. Ambedkar supporters and political leaders are paying tribute to Ambedkar’s statues by garlanding them. In this context, tension has arisen during the Ambedkar birth anniversary celebrations in Karimnagar district. ABVP activists came with flags to garland Ambedkar’s statue in the Karimnagar district center and created a ruckus.
When the festival committee leaders asked them to put aside the flags and garland the Ambedkar statue, ABVP leaders tried to climb up with the flags without listening. This led to an argument between the two groups. After Dalit leaders and Ambedkar fans protested strongly, the police forcibly dragged away the ABVP activists. ABVP leaders raised slogans against the police behavior.
Meanwhile, unidentified persons vandalized Ambedkar’s statue in Kandikonda village of Kuravi mandal of Mahabubabad district. Ambedkar community leaders and scholars informed the police about the incident. The police reached the spot and inspected the situation and registered a case. There was tension in the village as the statue was to be unveiled on the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti. (Maxim News)
