Jaipur/Lalapura. A delegation from the All India Bairwa Mahasabha met with the Inspector General (IG) of Police in Jaipur to demand a thorough investigation and strict action against those responsible for damaging the statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in Lalapura village. Recently, an unknown individual vandalized the statue, leading to heightened tensions in the area. This act has incited significant anger among the Dalit community and local residents, who view Ambedkar not only as a great leader but also as a symbol of social justice, equality, and the Constitution. The destruction of his statue has deeply hurt the sentiments of the community.

Following the incident, locals and members of the Dalit community expressed dissatisfaction with the police response.
