Chandigarh-Punjab BJP State President Sunil Jakhar has strongly condemned the incident of vandalism of the statue of Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar in Hoshiarpur district and has demanded immediate action from the Punjab government.
The BJP State President also appealed to the people of Punjab to remain vigilant against divisive forces and to maintain communal harmony. He said that certain forces operating from abroad are attempting to disturb peace in the state and are even targeting police stations. However, he expressed regret that the Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab has failed to take effective action.
In a message shared on social media, he wrote:
“The Bharatiya Janata Party strongly condemns the damage caused to the statue of Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar in Hoshiarpur district. Such incidents reflect the failure of governance in Punjab, and on the other hand, even police stations are being targeted. People sitting abroad are trying to spread hatred in Punjab, while the state government appears incapable of taking action. These attempts to create divisions in society will never succeed, but the government must fulfill its responsibilities. We appeal to all Punjabis to remain cautious of such divisive forces and to maintain brotherhood.”
