Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi speaking at a public gathering in Mhow
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi is in Mhow in Madhya Pradesh, the birthplace of Dr. BR Ambedkar, to prelude Congress' plan of nationwide celebrations on the occasion of his 125th Birth Anniversary.
Here are the highlights from his speech: - Babasaheb Ambedkar belonged to everyone, not just the weak. We see his influence everywhere today.
- But Babasaheb Ambedkar's dream is still incomplete.
- When voices in IIT Madras are stifled, it shows that some people's rights are still being taken away.
- Babasaheb's dream of abolishing the caste system is incomplete. The Constitution has been in place for years, but casteism still exists.
- Our nation's Constitution and "One Man One Vote" right changed the face of our society.
- Till the time some people are kept away from their rights, the nation cannot change.
- Babasaheb's life teaches us that change is not easy, it takes time.
