Let us remember the great Dr. B R Ambedkar , the main architect of the Indian Constitution, on the occasion of his 131st Birth Anniversary on 14-04-2022. Dr. Ambedkar throughout his life fought for the eqality of the people, particularly for the rights of the marginalised backward and Dalits, and against the discrimination on the basis of caste and religion. It was due to his vision and insistence that we got a great constitution which ensure equality, democracy and secularism. Today, the very principles of the constitution are under big threat from none other than the ruling combine. It is part of the game plan of the ruling class to incite communal violences to divert the attention of the people from their real issues. This nefarious attempts have to be resisted with the alround support of the people. So let us reaffirm to continue our fight against the attacks on the constitution and the divisive policies of the ruling class.
