B R Ambedkar's legacy honoured at UN HQ special event

UNITED NATIONS: (Apr 15) The legacy of B R Ambedkar and his ardent advocacy for cultivating constitutional morality was honoured at a special event hosted by the Permanent Mission of India to the UN to commemorate his 135th birth anniversary.

In his welcome remarks at the event held Tuesday, India’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Ambassador Harish Parvathaneni emphasized that Ambedkar’s call for cultivating constitutional morality is especially relevant in these troubled times, characterised by political fragmentation and constant conflicts.

It will help strengthen multilateralism, bring about effective reforms in the UN, revitalise its principal organs and make the UN fit for purpose, Parvathaneni said.
