Hubballi-Dharwad celebrates Ambedkar’s birth anniversary

‘The late leader gave the power of pen to the deprived classes bringing about a great change’

The 130th birth anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar, considered the father of the Constitution, was celebrated through various programmes by government agencies, various public and private organisations. In both Hubballi and Dharwad, statues of Ambedkar almost got buried under a load of garlands as politicians, individuals, office-bearers of organisations and officials took turns to garland them and pay respects to the late leader who gave the country its Constitution. Meanwhile, members of Dalit organisations also took out motorcycle rallies waving blue flags to mark the occasion. In an event organised by various Dalit organisations, scores of Home Guards who served as COVID-19 warriors were honoured by Chairman of Legislative Council Basavaraj Horatti and others near the Ambedkar statue.
