The Indian Constitution is a living affirmation of the inclusive cohesiveness and guarantee for equality that Baba Saheb envisaged, she said,” she said in a statement.

Paying tributes to one of the greatest son of India and champion of social equality and democracy, Sonia further said that the path of social democracy shown by Babasaheb shall forever remain relevant.

May we never cease to strive for the ideals Babasaheb dedicated his life to #ambedkarjayanti
