Historical Ambedkar Bhawan demolition is highly regrettable: Yechury

TIL Desk/National/Mumbai-Condemning the demolition of Ambedkar Bhavan at Dadar in Central Mumbai, CPI (M) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury today said the issue would be brought up in the Monsoon Session of Rajya Sabha.

“Its highly regrettable that the Ambedkar Bhavan has been brought down. It was not just a historical structure, but also a heritage building,” he said. The senior leader, who visited the razed site this morning, said they will raise the issue in Rajya Sabha.

“This issue will definitely come up in Rajya Sabha. Not just us many people will raise it,” he said. Responding to the rationale that the Bhavan was demolished for redevelopment, Yechury said, “No matter what they say, but the way it happened is highly condemnable.”
