Mayawati Slams Opposition to Ambedkar Statue in MP

Some lawyers are against putting up a statue of Dr. Ambedkar, who helped write India's laws, at a court in Gwalior.

Mayawati, a leader from a political party, is upset about this.

She says the court had already said it was okay to put up the statue.

Mayawati believes that those who were treated unfairly in the past deserve respect now.

She wants the government to make sure the statue gets installed because she thinks it's important to honor Ambedkar.

She says that people opposing the statue need to understand the desire for respect from those who have been oppressed for years.
