Ambedkar s vision under threat today: Yechury

New Delhi April 14 (IANS) CPI-M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury on Friday said that B.R. Ambedkar s vision of the Constitution above all was under threat and called upon the people to take forward his ideals.

B.R. Ambedkar s vision more than just symbolising social justice helped create a political framework to achieve it and that is our Constitution Yechury said on social networking sites on the occasion of Ambedkar s 126th birth anniversary.

That vision is under threat today. On Ambedkar s birth anniversary we must pledge to take forward the finest lessons from his struggle he said.

Puthandu Vishu Poila Boishakh Baisakhi Rongali Bihu Vishuba Sankranthi ... -- one land many festivals Yechury wrote.

On the day we are marking Ambedkar s birth anniversary and observing Good Friday let us renew the pledge to cherish and strengthen our unity protecting this diversity added Yechury.
