Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta remembered Dr B R Ambedkar on his birth anniversary as a staunch advocate of equality and social justice.
On the eve of the birth anniversary of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the Bihar BJP organised a “Deepotsav” (festival of lamps) Monday evening at the Ambedkar statue located near the Patna High Court premises.
With a push on Dalit issues barely a week ahead of the birth anniversary of Dr B R Ambedkar, Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday launched a new " Dr. B R Ambedkar Murti Vikas Yojana".
Posting on his social media account on Saturday, Mr. Yadav said there should be no debate or dispute over the Constitution.
Opposition leaders, including Rajya Sabha Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi, also participated in the tributes, underscoring the enduring and unifying impact of Ambedkar’s legacy on India’s democratic fabric.
Dr Ambedkar passed away on December 6, 1956, and was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in 1990. His birthday, April 14, is celebrated annually as Ambedkar Jayanti.
He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, by initiating the observance of Constitution Day, has helped enhance public awareness and appreciation of democratic values.
After paying homage to famous social reformer EV Ramasamy Periyar, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin turned his attention to Dr B.R. Ambedkar and Karl Marx during his visit to London.
Two great personalities on earth – the Buddha and Karl Marx – propagated their ideals in different fields of thought in different times.
A thought-provoking and enriching event titled ‘Celebrating Ambedkar’ was organised at New Alipore College by the SC, ST, OBC and Other Marginalized Cell, in collaboration with the Department of Political Science, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), and Swami Vivekananda University.
