Senior Delhi Congress leader and former MLA from Sultanpur Majra, Jai Kishan on Friday placed floral tributes at the statue of social reformer, economist and jurist Dr BR Ambedkar on his birth anniversary at the party’s headquarters. The Congress leader accused the BJP-led Centre and the Arvind Kejriwal Government of attacking and weakening the Constitution and paying only lip service to its architect, BR Ambedkar. He said the Congress is committed towards ensuring social justice for the oppressed communities.
Jai Kishan said that the Congress is the only party which is honouring Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s legacy. The Congress leader said Ambedkar was the architect of the Indian Constitution and contributed to promoting social harmony and equality. He saw education as a potent tool that could equally empower every citizen to build an egalitarian society and worked throughout his life for the welfare and rights of the backward sections of society and the poor, he added.
“We all greatly respect him as the Architect of India’s Constitution. He was instrumental in establishing a large number of robust institutions and made several important interventions to end caste discrimination, gender inequality and divisive politics,” the Congress leader said.
