New Delhi, 14th April: Vice President C. P. Radhakrishnan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday paid floral tributes to B. R. Ambedkar at Prerna Sthal in the Parliament House Complex on his birth anniversary.
Several Union Ministers, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, Deputy Chairman Harivansh, Members of Parliament and other dignitaries also joined in paying homage.
Leaders later offered floral tributes at Ambedkar’s portrait in the Central Hall of Samvidhan Sadan, remembering his contribution to shaping India’s democratic framework.
Addressing students during a programme organised by PRIDE, Om Birla described Ambedkar’s life as a “courageous saga of struggle,” highlighting how he transformed challenges into opportunities.
He emphasised that Ambedkar’s ideals of equality, liberty, justice and fraternity continue to guide India’s democratic journey and inspire generations.
Birla urged young citizens to adopt a “Nation First” approach, stating that their innovation, dedication and commitment will play a crucial role in building a developed India.
He also noted that Ambedkar’s contributions—particularly provisions like the Right to Equality and universal voting rights—laid the foundation of a strong and inclusive democracy.
Leaders across party lines remembered Ambedkar as a visionary reformer whose thoughts remain relevant in addressing issues of inequality and social justice.
His legacy, they said, continues to guide India’s path towards a just, inclusive and progressive society.
