Lucknow, Dec 6 (UNI) Even as yet another statue of Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar was desecrated in Allahabad today on his death anniversary, Union HRD Minister Arujn Singh today said it was the duty of the Uttar Pradesh government to avert such incidents, which snowball into violence.

Talking to reporters here after addressing a gathering at Ambedkar Sabhagar to mark the death anniversary of Dr Ambedkar, he refused to comment on 'the politics behind the Kanpur incident', which later took a violent turn there as well as in Maharashtra.

Earlier in Amethi, AICC president and Rae Bareli MP Sonia Gandhi had also slammed the administration for failing to curb violence.

She was interacting with the media in her son Rahul's parliamentary constituency two days ago.

To a poser on reservation in institutions of higher education, the minister said the matter had already been raised in Parliament and was under consideration of the Prime Minister.
