Jalandhar, June 3 -- Two months after a similar incident, a statue of BR Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, was vandalised at Nangal village of Phillaur sub-division in Jalandhar district on Monday, triggering tension. CCTV cameras captured a masked man defacing the statue and efforts are on to arrest him. Banned outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun took responsibility for the incident in a video posted on social media, claiming that the Constitution of India was "responsible for the attack on Akal Takht (the supreme temporal seat of the Sikhs) during Operation Bluestar in June 1984". SFJ activists had vandalised another Ambedkar statue at Nangal village on March 31. The administration had installed protective glass around that statue. Amritpal Bhonsle, a local Dalit leader, said the accused was caught on camera smearing black ink on Ambedkar's face before spray-painting anti-Constitution and pro-Khalistan slogans on the boundary wall of the nearby government school. "It is unfortunate that the such an incident has happened again in the village," Bhonsle said, adding activists of Dalit organisations are holding a meeting to decide on the future course of action. Deputy superintendent of police Sarwan Singh Bal said a case was registered against Pannun and other unidentified miscreants under Section 113 (terrorist acts), 299 (hurting religious sentiments) 196 (promoting enmity) and 148 (conspiracy to intimidate the government) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Phillaur police station. "We are gathering CCTV footage from nearby areas to trace the route the accused took. He will be arrested soon," the DSP said. On April 4, two SFJ activists, Sukhbir Singh and Avtar Singh, both residents of Nurpur Chatha village in Jalandhar district, were arrested for defacing the statue on March 31. The police had booked Pannun also in the case. Monday's incident comes four months after a statue of Ambedkar was vandalised on Heritage Street leading to the Golden Temple in Amritsar on January 26, triggering tension in the border state. In Punjab, Dalits constitute 32% of the total population, a figure roughly double the national average of 16.6%. The Doaba region, including Jalandhar district, has a sizeable Dalit population. After the Republic Day incident when a youngster climbed atop the statue in Amritsar and tried to vandalise it, the authorities decided that all Ambedkar statues would be secured with toughened glass to prevent any damage to them. Phillaur MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary, who visited the spot, strongly condemned the act....
