Allegations of Discrimination in Statue Installation Spark Inquiry
Imagine some people want to put up a statue of a famous person, but they're being told they can't, while others get to put up statues without any problems.
This is what happened in a village in India.
Leaders and activists are upset because they think the rules for putting up statues are unfair, especially for a statue of Dr. Ambedkar.
They say officials are treating people differently based on their caste.
They're also angry because a police officer is accused of hurting some activists.
They want the rules to be the same for everyone and the statue installed quickly.
Dalit Hakkula Parirakshana Samithi leaders protested alleged discrimination in statue installation rules.
The protest occurred in Degaramoodi village, Martur mandal.
Activists questioned why restrictions applied to Dr. Ambedkar's statue.
Martur CI Seshagiri is accused of assaulting Dalit youth.
Officials conducted an inquiry at the Martur MDO office.
