Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday paid tributes to Bharat Ratna Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar on his 135th birth anniversary, recalling his contribution to shaping India’s Constitution and advancing social justice.

In a post on social media platform X, Amit Shah said that Dr Ambedkar laid the foundation of India’s democracy by providing a Constitution that ensures equal rights and opportunities for all sections of society. He noted that Babasaheb’s life continues to inspire people to remain committed to national service and public welfare.

The Home Minister also remembered Dr Ambedkar as a pioneer of social justice and a strong advocate of unity and equality.

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh also paid homage, describing Dr Ambedkar as a visionary leader who dedicated his life to promoting equality and harmony in society. He said that Babasaheb worked tirelessly to secure the rights of deprived sections and made lasting contributions to nation-building.

Rajnath Singh further noted that despite facing several challenges, Dr Ambedkar achieved remarkable milestones and played a key role in the development of India’s institutions.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu also paid tributes to Dr Ambedkar, highlighting his role in nation-building, social reform and strengthening constitutional values.

Dr B.R. Ambedkar, popularly known as Babasaheb, was the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and served as independent India’s first Law and Justice Minister. Born into a socially disadvantaged family, he emerged as a leading voice for the rights of marginalised communities and became a symbol of social transformation.

He was conferred the Bharat Ratna, the country’s highest civilian award, in 1990.
