Uttarakhand CM Dhami pays tribute to B.R. Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, hails legacy of equality and justice

National leaders, including PM Modi and Uttarakhand CM Dhami, paid homage to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, honoring his constitutional legacy.

"His entire life was dedicated to establishing the ideals of social harmony, equality, and justice. - Pushkar Singh Dhami"

Dehradun, April 14

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Tuesday paid floral tributes to Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar on his 135th birth anniversary at the Chief Minister's official residence.

Remembering the contribution of Dr Ambedkar, the Chief Minister highlighted his lifelong commitment to social justice, equality, and national unity.

Dhami said, "His entire life was dedicated to establishing the ideals of social harmony, equality, and justice. His visionary thoughts continue to serve as a beacon of inspiration for building a strong, inclusive society."

Vice President CP Radhakrishnan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday also paid tribute to Bharat Ratna Dr BR Ambedkar at Prerna Sthal in the parliament premises on the occasion of 135th Ambedkar Jayanti.

Alongside Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiran Rijiju, and Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge and other leaders also paid tribute to Babasaheb in Delhi.

During the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge shared a light-hearted moment.

Sharing an X post, PM Modi said that his efforts towards nation-building are "deeply motivating".

"Tributes to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on his birth anniversary. His efforts towards nation-building are deeply motivating. His life and work continue to inspire generations to build a just and progressive society," PM Modi wrote.

BR Ambedkar, fondly known as 'Babasaheb', was the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and is thus also called the 'Father of the Indian Constitution'. Ambedkar was also the first law and justice minister of independent India.

Babasaheb was born into an impoverished Dalit Mahar Family in Madhya Pradesh. He fought tirelessly for the equal rights of marginalised sections of society. Later, he was revered as a 'Dalit Icon' for his contributions towards their rights.

He died on 6 December 1956. In 1990, Ambedkar was conferred with the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian award.

Good to see CM Dhami paying respects. But true tribute would be to actively implement his ideals on the ground in Uttarakhand. Are we really building that inclusive society he dreamed of? The gap between principle and practice is still wide.

The architect of our Constitution. His work ensures dignity for every Indian. We must teach his struggles and philosophy more deeply in schools, not just on his Jayanti.

As someone relatively new to India, learning about Dr. Ambedkar's role has been fascinating. To rise from such adversity and draft a document that guides a billion people is truly remarkable. A legacy for the world.

Saw the photo of PM Modi and Kharge ji sharing a moment. Good that on days like these, politics takes a backseat and we remember our national heroes. Babasaheb's message of unity is needed now more than ever.

His life is an inspiration. From facing discrimination to becoming the law minister and writing our Constitution. It shows what education and determination can achieve. Let's pledge to live by the values he enshrined for us.
