Chandigarh, September 9, 2026: Strongly condemning the desecration of the statue of Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, in Ludhiana, BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon on Wednesday termed the incident “deeply unfortunate and serious”.
Dhillon said the insult to Dr Ambedkar’s statue was not merely an attack on a statue but an affront to the Constitution, constitutional values and the sentiments of millions of people. He said such incidents could create tension and disturb social harmony, and urged the state government to deal with the matter with utmost seriousness.
He said the law and order situation in Punjab was becoming increasingly worrisome. “If the statue of a towering personality like Dr Ambedkar is not safe under the AAP government, it raises serious questions over the state of law and order and the functioning of the administration,” he said.
Dhillon urged the Punjab Government to identify and arrest those responsible without delay. He said stringent action should be taken against the accused in accordance with law so that no one dared to indulge in such an act in the future.
The Punjab BJP president said the party remained committed to upholding the dignity of Dr Ambedkar, the sanctity of the Constitution and social harmony. He urged the government to ensure a fair and speedy investigation and bring the culprits to justice.
