NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday visited Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur and paid homage to BR Ambedkar. He said that his government had “always walked on the path shown by Pujya Babasaheb”, adding that generations of Indians would remain grateful to Ambedkar for being the architect of the Constitution.
“Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur stands tall as a symbol of social justice and empowering the downtrodden. Generations of Indians will remain grateful to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar for giving us a Constitution that ensures our dignity and equality,” he said.
“Our Government has always walked on the path shown by Pujya Babasaheb and we reiterate our commitment to working even harder to realise the India he dreamt of,” he added.
PM Modi also paid tribute to RSS founder Keshav Baliram Hedgewar, and second sarsanghchalak (chief) MS Golwalkar at Smruti Mandir in the presence of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.
“The memorial of the two strong pillars of RSS is an inspiration to lakhs of swayamsevaks who have dedicated themselves to the service of the nation,” the PM wrote in his message.
The comments come as the opposition leaders, including leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, continue to question the actions of the Modi government and accusing the BJP and the RSS of “destroying the Constitution”.
