Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati while addressing a press conference on Saturday condemned the vandalisation of statues of political figures in the country. The former Uttar Pradesh chief minister urged the people to maintain harmony and not indulge in any act which impacts the glory of Dalit icon BR Ambedkar.

Local miscreants had vandalised a statue of Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar in an Ambedkar park in Allahabad's Jhunsi.
