New Delhi, Apr 14 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday greeted people on Ambedkar Jayanti.

To mark the occasion, Modi paid tributes to Babasaheb Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar at the Parliament House in New Delhi.

Meanwhile, Congress President Rahul Gandhi, while remembering Ambedkar on Sunday, asked people to re-dedicate themselves to the four universal values of Justice- Liberty, Equality and Fraternity enshrined in the Constitution.

"On Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar’s jayanti, let us re-dedicate ourselves to the 4 universal values of JUSTICE, LIBERTY, EQUALITY & FRATERNITY enshrined in our Constitution. Those who pay him tributes on this day, while insidiously weakening these values, do his memory disservice," Rahul tweeted.

Babasaheb Ambedkar, was an Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer who inspired the Dalit Buddhist movement and campaigned against social discrimination towards the untouchables (Dalits), while also supporting the rights of women and labour.

He was independent India's first law and justice minister, the architect of the Constitution of India, and a founding father of the Republic of India.

In India and elsewhere, he was often called Babasaheb, meaning "respected father" in Marathi and Hindi.
