Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tributes to former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan on his birth anniversary on Saturday, lauding his lifelong dedication to social justice.

In a post on X, PM Modi wrote, "Humble tributes to former Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan ji on his birth anniversary. His entire life was dedicated to social justice. His struggle for the rights of Dalits, backward classes, and the deprived can never be forgotten."

Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Chirag Paswan, speaking to the media, described his father's birth anniversary as a "festival" for the party.

"Today is the birthday of my revered father, Shri Ramvilas Paswan Ji. This day is also a day of resolve for every leader and worker of the party to work towards social justice, making Bihar a developed state, and integrating the deprived sections of society into the mainstream, bringing his ideas to reality," he said.

He added that the LJP would commemorate the occasion in Hajipur, as done annually.

Ram Vilas Paswan, the founder and former LJP Chief, was a nine-time Lok Sabha member and a two-time Rajya Sabha MP. He was also awarded the Padma Bhushan posthumously.

While I respect Paswan ji's contributions, I wish current leaders would move beyond symbolic tributes and actually implement policies that help Dalits and backward classes in practical ways.

Ram Vilas Paswan was a bridge between different communities in Bihar. His absence is truly felt in today's polarized politics. May his ideals of inclusive development guide our nation.

As someone who studied Indian politics, Paswan's ability to work across party lines while maintaining his core principles was remarkable. A lesson for today's politicians!

My grandfather used to tell stories about how Paswan ji would visit the poorest villages in Bihar without any fanfare. True leaders don't need PR teams! ❤️
