Panaji : RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Sunday said like Dalit icon B R Ambedkar, the RSS founder K B Hedgewar also worked selflessly for the welfare of the country. “Dr Ambedkar played a big role in framing our Constitution. He was a great intellectual who freed thousands of people from slavery. Like Dr Ambedkar, Hedgewar also worked selflessly for the welfare of the country,” Bhagwat said at a function at Bambolim near here.
Paying tributes to Ambedkar on his 60th death anniversary, Bhagwat said, “he studied with a great difficulty and used his knowledge for the benefit of country and not for himself”. PTI
