Chandigarh, April 14

Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi — by revoking Article 370 — had paid real tribute to Dr BR Ambedkar, who played a significant role in the framing of the Indian Constitution.

He said Dr Ambedkar had then opposed inclusion of Article 370 in the Constitution so as to uphold the political integrity, unity and diversity of the country.

The Chief Minister was speaking as the chief guest at a programme organised on the occasion of the 130th birth anniversary of Dr BR Ambedkar held here today.

He said Babasaheb always believed that only through education, the person standing last in the queue could be brought into the mainstream.

Babasaheb always believed in the theory that every person should spend half of his money on education and half on his other basic needs like food etc.

Vidhan Sabha Speaker Gian Chand Gupta said this was for the first time that the birth anniversary of Babasaheb was being celebrated on the Assembly premises after the installation of his statue.
