Mumbai: On the Mahaparinirvan Diwas, Samajwadi Party’s Maharashtra President Abu Asim Azmi, on Sunday, December 6, honoured Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar and said that the legendary leader delivered great justice not only to the Dalits but also to Muslims.
While speaking to reporters, Azmi reflected on the period of Partition and said, "When, in 1947, India and Pakistan were separated, many Muslims were moving to Pakistan because Jinnah had said that they were creating a separate Muslim country. But Baba Saheb (Ambedkar) said no — this country that is being created will give equal rights to Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and everyone."
He further praised Ambedkar’s lifelong fight for the oppressed, and said, “Those who struggled for the rights of the oppressed, the Dalits, Baba Saheb fought alongside them. I believe he delivered great justice to the Dalits and also to Muslims.
