As the nation pays tribute to Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar on his death anniversary, opposition parties used the occasion to criticise the Centre.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin took a subtle dig at his political opponents in his homage post, saying that those who once sought to suppress Ambedkar now pretend to praise him.
“Ambedkar Remembrance Day, the revolutionary who
challenged oppressions. It is Dr. Ambedkar who rose above, shattering everything with the weapon of education, from within a system that suppressed him in every way.
The same dominant group that sought to suppress him back then now pretends to praise him — that is his true victory,” Stalin wrote on X. He added that Ambedkar’s life and struggles remain an inspiration toward building an egalitarian society.
