The function started with ‘Bhim Vandana’. Floral tributes were offered to the pioneer of equality, Bharat Ratna, Dr. B.R.Ambedkar. Raina repeated golden assertion of Baba Saheb that ‘rulers henceforth shall not be born from the wombs of Maharanis after the enactment of Constitution’. Rather they shall be chosen amongst the people and by the people.
Devinder Kumar Manyal, general secretary J&K BJP and former Minister also spoke on the occasion and threw light on the life struggles and achievements of Baba Saheb and his role in upliftment of SCs. Making a pointed reference to certain vested interests who are out and out to distort Ambedkar’s philosophy for their political gains, he said that Dr. Ambedkar laid thrust on the universal, holistic and cosmopolitan survival of Indian society and the State. Baba Sahib had dreamt of a caste- free, women empowerment and emancipation and pro-labour friendly India and we all should strive towards holistic achievement of the same.
Spokesperson BJP and former MLA Ramnagar, Ranbir Singh Pathania threw light on the various aspects of Ambedkar philosophy in an impressive fashion. The atmosphere was charged with slogans – ‘Jai Bhim’ ‘Baba Saheb Amar rahen’.
