narendra modiNew Delhi:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday while praising B.R. Ambedkar said he was the voice of marginalised who inculcated inner power to the people of the country.

“Babasaheb was the voice of the marginalised. He is a ‘Vishwa Manav’,” Modi said while speaking at the foundation stone laying ceremony of B.R. Ambedkar National Memorial here.

The prime minister also praised Ambedkar’s vision for the development of the poor and middle class.

“He had a vision to realise India’s maritime resources, power sector and many things… He always wanted people to be educated,” Modi said, adding: “Ambedkar gave inner power to people by compelling people to be knowledgeable.”

“When the issue of equal rights to women came up, Babasaheb was clear that if women don’t get equal rights I can’t be a part of the ministry,” he added.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
