NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday paid tribute to B.R. Ambedkar on his birth anniversary, asserting that he would “fight with all his strength” to protect the ideals of the Constitution and Ambedkar’s vision of justice, equality, and dignity.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi said, “Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar did not just give us the Constitution; he gave us the dream of a strong India founded on justice, equality, and dignity. But today, certain forces are systematically working to weaken Babasaheb's legacy and our Constitution - democratic institutions are being hollowed out, rights are being trampled, and the idea of equality is under attack. This country is built on Babasaheb's ideals - I will fight with all my strength, until my last breath, to protect them. Together, we will bring back to life the India of Baba Saheb's dreams. Heartfelt wishes to all on Ambedkar Jayanti.”
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also paid tribute, describing Ambedkar as the moral and constitutional foundation of India.
In his post, Kharge said Babasaheb was not only the architect of the Constitution but also a relentless champion of liberty, equality, fraternity, and justice. He warned that the Constitution was facing “conspiratorial attacks” and stressed that Ambedkar’s words and warnings remain highly relevant today.
