He said Ambedkar upheld the highest principles of social justice by laying the foundations of a strong India rooted in equality and fraternity.

Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, widely known as Babasaheb, was a distinguished jurist, economist and social reformer.
As the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, he spent his life opposing caste-based discrimination and championing the rights of Dalits and other disadvantaged groups.
Dr Ambedkar passed away on 6 December 1956. In recognition of his lifelong service, he was awarded the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian honour, in 1990. His birth anniversary on 14 April is, however, celebrated nationwide as Ambedkar Jayanti.
