Baba Saheb was a timeless symbol of social harmony: Chief Minister

Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Monday paid a floral tribute to Bharat Ratna Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar on his 135th birth anniversary at the Mini-Secretariat complex in Hisar. He said this day was a moment of pride not only for Haryana but for the entire nation, as we continue to walk the path shown by Baba Saheb and strive to fulfil his vision for India.

The Chief Minister said that Baba Saheb, beyond being the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, was also a timeless symbol of social harmony. He devoted his entire life for uplift and welfare of the poor and marginalised people. Through the Constitution, Baba Saheb unified the country and gave new strength to national unity and integrity. His invaluable contribution would always be remembered.

He further added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi following the ideals of Baba Saheb, had resolved to make a developed India by focusing on India’s 2047 vision. The collective mission was one that all citizens must contribute to.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution, a series of year-long programmes were being organised across the country. These include awareness campaigns in which the Preamble of the Constitution was being read to promote understanding among the general public.

Paying homage to Baba Saheb, the Chief Minister said Baba Saheb, who dedicated his life for the empowerment of the deprived and exploited sections of society, was an inspiration for the society. Baba Saheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar struggled throughout his life for uplifting of society, especially for the rights of SCs, backward classes and women. As the chief architect of an egalitarian, secular and democratic Constitution, Baba Saheb ensured equal rights for all citizens. He fought tirelessly against untouchability and caste-based discrimination and with his efforts provisions such as the Right to Equality and the Abolition of Untouchability were enshrined in the Constitution. Despite facing immense obstacles in his own life, Baba Saheb pursued higher education and inspired generations to follow in his footsteps.
