BJP members staged a protest in Jalandhar demanding action after a Dr. B.R. Ambedkar statue was allegedly mistreated, prompting the state government to burn a dummy in response.
BJP activists gathered in Jalandhar to voice outrage over what they described as disrespect to a statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. The party demanded a swift inquiry and punitive action against those responsible for the alleged incident.
