Police should stop constructi­on of illegal statues

-

If the statues are illegally built, then why do the police wait for constructi­on to end to demolish them? Instead, the constructi­on shouldn’t be allowed to start. The government needs to be more responsibl­e and less hypocritic­al. In speeches, they talk about equality and engage in competitiv­e statue building, but if people of the Dalit community are making statues by crowd-funding, then they are getting demolished. Police reporting that the public is not cooperatin­g doesn’t make sense when the police are not following the law.
