Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh-
Haryana's cabinet Minister Krishan Lal Panwar has said that Baba Saheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar was the maker of the Indian Constitution and the BJP always respected Baba Saheb while the Congress insulted him.
He said after 1947, Congress governments were formed many times but they never gave Bharat Ratna to Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar and not even talked about it. In 1990, there was a non-Congress government and with the support of BJP and due to the efforts of late Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Sh. LK Advani, Baba Saheb was given the title of Bharat Ratna. The Congress government never declared a holiday on Baba Saheb's birth anniversary but when Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi's government was formed, he declared a holiday on Baba Saheb's birthday on 14th April in 2015.
The minister said that in honour of Baba Saheb, PM Narendra Modi has worked to develop 5 places of his life as five pilgrimages. Modi had announced on 19th November, 2015 to celebrate Constitution Day on 26th November in the honour of Baba Saheb. Along with this, in 2016, he also included Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar's palanquin in the Republic Day parade.
