Kharge seeks time from Modi to explain Congress ‘Nyay Patra’
In the letter, the Congress president pointed out to the prime minister that he was being “misinformed” about things that are not even written in the party’s manifesto.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday saluted the contributions of BR Ambedkar for framing a constitution that promotes “equality and sensitivity” towards all citizens.
Addressing the 38th edition of his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Constitution Day, Modi said: “The makers of our Constitution worked hard to give us a Constitution we would be proud of. On Constitution Day, we salute the great women and men who gave India a Constitution we are proud of.”
“Our Constitution safeguards the rights of the poor and weaker sections of society. Our constitution s a testimony of their vision. It touches all aspects of our lives,” he added.

The Constitution of India was adopted on November 26, 1949 before it came into force on January 26, 1950.
Modi said the credit for making a constitution that respects all citizens goes to Ambedkar and the nation was “indebted” to him for his guidance and leadership.
“The constitution was made under the able leadership of Ambedkar and his contribution in making India a strong and prosperous nation is unmatched… The nation is indebted to him,” Modi said.
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, popularly known as Babasaheb, was an Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer. He had inspired the Dalit Buddhist Movement and campaigned against social discrimination against “untouchables”.
