New Delhi, April 14

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday led tributes to principal architect of the Indian Constitution BR Ambedkar, saying his ideas for the welfare of Dalits, downtrodden and deprived sections were an inspiration for the BJP government.

“Tributes to Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on his jayanti. He has made indelible contributions to India’s progress. This is a day to reiterate our commitment to fulfil his dreams for our nation. Our government has set many benchmarks in the field of social justice,” the PM said.

President Ram Nath Kovind, Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, and Congress president Sonia Gandhi also paid floral tributes to Ambedkar in Parliament House Complex today.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
