President Ram Nath Kovind on Thursday inaugurated the International Ambedkar Conclave 2021 organised by the Forum of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes Legislators and Parliamentarians at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi.

In his address, President Kovind said that on December 6, Parinirvan Divas will be observed and followers of Dr B.R. Ambedkar pay tribute to him.

He said the credit for the Constitution and the amendment of it will always go to Dr Ambedkar. He added further to it that the whole nation is thankful to him, not only will this generation remember him, but also the next generation for his great work.

President Kovind said Babasaheb worked for human rights and he was also felicitated by Columbia University for his acclaimed work. He further added that Babasaheb was the one who used to say we were Indians, we are Indians and we will remain Indians.

The President said Babasaheb wanted to awaken the moral conscience of society. He used to say that rights cannot be protected only by laws, but it is also necessary to have moral and social consciousness in society. He emphasised on non-violent and constitutional means, the President said.

“In our Constitution, many provisions have been made to protect the interests of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Article 46 of the Constitution directs that the State shall develop the educational and economic interests of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes with special care. Also, in this article, the State has been directed to protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation. A number of institutions and procedures have been put in place to give effect to these guidelines. There has been lot of improvements. But, a lot remains to be done by our country and society,” President Kovind said.

The President said that many of the deprived sections are not aware of their rights and government’s initiatives for their welfare. Therefore, it is the responsibility of members of this Forum to make them aware of their rights and government initiatives. He said that it is also their responsibility to take forward the people of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes who have been left behind in the developmental journey. “By this way, they can pay their true tributes to Dr Ambedkar.” the President said.

President Kovind talked about Ambedkar’s love for education and said he wanted to study more but worked for human rights in India.

Supreme Court Bar Association Vice President Senior Advocate Pradeep Rai said Baba Saheb Ambedkar doesn’t belong to just one community but he belongs to every community and every Indian. He said India and Pakistan got freedom at the same time but there is a difference between the two as Pakistan did not have someone of the stature of Baba Saheb Ambedkar.

Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, submitted his nomination for the Kannauj Lok Sabha constituency ahead of tomorrow’s second round of voting. In front of Ram Gopal Yadav and other party leaders, the chief of the SP, who had previously contested the seat in 2000, 2004 and 2009, submitted the nomination.

Speaking with media, Ram Gopal Yadav said that SP would win the seat by a huge margin. The BJP candidate might lose his deposit in the seat, he said.

The Samajwadi Party has completely reversed its earlier plan to field former Mainpuri MP Tej Pratap Singh Yadav as their candidate, which is a significant political development.

Earlier, Akhilesh Yadav told reporters, people will find out when the nomination takes place, in reference to the speculations that he will contest for the seat. The historic victory of Kannauj is the subject of inquiry.

The former chief minister continued, the people have decided that the India bloc is coming as the future and the BJP will be history in this election.

Notably, elections for the Kannauj seat are scheduled for May 13, which would intensify the political drama that is now playing out in Uttar Pradesh. Previously regarded as the Samajwadi Party’s stronghold, the seat was lost by the party in the 2019 election when Subrat Pathak of the BJP won with a resounding victory.

The candidates competing for the following Uttar Pradesh seats will find out their destiny in the second round of voting, which is scheduled for tomorrow, Amroha, Meerut, Mathura, Baghpat, Aligarh, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddh Nagar, and Bulandshahar.

Notably, two Bollywood celebrities running as BJP candidates in the second round are Hema Malini from Mathura and Arun Govil from Meerut. There are 91 contestants from UP competing in the second phase.

The seats in Gautam Buddha Nagar and Mathura are up for grabs, with a maximum of 15 applicants per seat. In Bulandshahr, six candidates are vying for the presidency. There are twelve contenders running in Amroha, eight in Meerut, seven in Baghpat, and fourteen in Ghaziabad and Aligarh.

1,67,77,198 votes will decide these candidates’ fates.
