Ambedkar Jayanthi delayed by a day, results in stone-pelting in Karnataka

Ambedkar Jayanthi programme was being organised by a group of people in Belagavi district's Nagarala village on April 15. When another group questioned them on why this is organised a day later since Ambedkar Jayanthi is observed on April 14, arguments followed. In no time, the two groups clashed, attacked and even resorted to stone pelting. More than 10 have been injured and are admitted in the hospital nearby.
