Babasaheb Ambedkar 129th Birth Anniversary- President Ram Nath Kovind, PM Modi And Other Leaders Pay Tribute

On Tuesday, President Ram Nath Kovind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other leaders paid tributes to Dalit icon and architect of the Indian Constitution Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar on his 129th birth anniversary.

The President said that Ambedkar strived for a society based on justice and equity. "Tributes to Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar on his birth anniversary. Our nation's icon and Chief Architect of the Constitution, he strived for a society based on justice and equity. Let us all take inspiration from his vision and values, and resolve to imbibe his ideals in our lives," Kovind said in a tweet.

Ambedkar, commonly known as Babasaheb, dedicated his life to working for the upliftment of untouchables, women, and labourers. Born into a poor Dalit family on April 14, 1891, Ambedkar became independent India's first law minister, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution and a founding father of the Republic of India. He also campaigned against the social discrimination of Dalits and inspired the Dalit Buddhist Movement in 1956. Ambedkar was awarded the Bharat Ratna posthumously in 1990.

भेदभाव रहित एवं समरस समाज का निर्माण ही हम सभी की बाबा साहेब डॉ. अम्बेडकर जी के प्रति सच्ची श्रद्धांजलि होगी।
मेरी अपील है कि कोरोना वायरस के संक्रमण के दृष्टिगत उनकी जयंती पर, घर पर ही रह कर श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित करें।
मैं स्वयं भी अपने आवास पर ही उन्हें श्रद्धासुमन अर्पित करूंगा।

Let us even make a concession to the prejudices of our opponents, bring them in, so that they may willingly join with us on marching upon that road, which as I said, if we walk long enough, must necessarily lead us to unity: Dr B. R. Ambedkar #IAmAmbedkar pic.twitter.com/X0juv8dVpa
