Constitution architect Dr. BR Ambedkar's birthday celebration

Ponnampet, April 15: The life and biography of Baba Saheb Ambedkar should be an inspiration to every poor person, every exploited person, and every voiceless person born in this country, said A.S. Ponnanna, MLA from Virajpet assembly constituency and legal advisor to the Chief Minister.

Dr. BR Ambedkar's 135th birthday celebration and Dr. BR Ambedkar's 135th birthday celebration were held at the Ponnampet Karnataka Public School auditorium under the joint auspices of the National Festival Celebration Committee, Taluk Administration, Taluk Panchayat, Social Welfare Department, Virajpet Municipality and Ponnampet Town Panchayat. Presiding over the 119th birth anniversary celebration of Babu Jagjivan Ram, he inaugurated the program by lighting a lamp and garlanding the portraits of Ambedkar and Babu Jagjivan Ram. He said that it is a painful thing that untouchability is still alive in the country, and only when the Constitution is studied can its purpose and importance be understood.

He said that only when the spirit of equality sprouts in the hearts of everyone in the society, the contribution made by Ambedkar for the country and the sacrifices he made will be meaningful.

Dr. Ponnanna said on the same occasion that Babu Jagjivan Ram has also contributed a lot to the development of our country.

The main speaker, Girish H.R., Professor of Sarvodaya College, Virajpet, gave information about the life history of Ambedkar and said that Ambedkar Jayanti is one of the most celebrated jayantis in the world.

He said that the Constitution is a common eternal scripture for all religions, and Ambedkar is the reason for that.

Another speaker, Dr. J. Somanna, retired principal of Balele Vijayalakshmi College, gave information about the life story of Dr. Babu Jagjivan Ram.
