Vice-President Dhankhar said Ambedkar was a great social reformer who tried to end caste inequality and cared deeply for the oppressed. In his words, “the nation is indebted to him for guiding the Constitution.”.
The Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also remembered Ambedkar with a quote on Twitter: “I want everyone to be Indian first, Indian last, and nothing else but Indian”.
