VHR Threatens Suicide If Ambedkar Statue Not Restored
The Congress leader said that he would observe a fast-unto-death and commit suicide if the Tank Bund Ambedkar statue was not restored to its original place before February 5.
Former MP and senior Congress leader V Hanumantha Rao today alleged that the Telangana government had hurt all people of the backward castes by "desecrating" the statue of B R Ambedkar.
Stating that none of the TRS leaders had spoken on the shocking incident, Rao asked the state government what "sin" Ambedkar had committed to receive such an insulting treatment.
Alleging that the statue of Ambedkar was thrown into a garbage dump, he also said that he was stopped from re-installating the statue at the same place from where it was removed.
The Ambedkar statue was still in a police station on the 71st Republic Day celebrations, he lamented.
He said that he would observe a fast-unto-death and commit suicide if the Ambedkar statue was not restored to its original place before February 5.
