Dr Sanjay Bhasin while speaking on the occasion said that Babasaheb Ambedkar and his thoughts have become a phenomenon in itself in Indian social, religious, economic as well as political realms. Dr. Ambedkar as on date have become a necessity for every political party as the Dalitbahujans have accepted Babasaheb as their true emancipator and they can even sacrifice their life on the name of Babasaheb. But in view of India’s unique social order a counter revolution is going on in the country to subjugate the constitutional rights of Dalitbahujans and defeat the very basic principles of constitutions as envisioned by the father of Indian Constitution.
He further said that there is dire need for social unity of SCSTOBC & Religious minorities to carve the nefarious designs of the micro minority of this country. Babasaheb believed in both social and political democracy to achieve equality in social, educational, economic and political spheres of life to make Indian an Egalitarian society.
Rajinder Kashyap (Joint Secretary, GOI, Ministry of Justice) while speaking on the occasion said that Phule-Ambedkar social mission of education, unity, fraternity, liberty and religious reforms if adopted in principle can take India to new heights as a developed and strong nation.

At Jammu, while paying tribute to Baba Sahib, State President Confederation R K Kalsotra apprised the gathering that in 1954 on Oct 27 while addressing the masses at Jalandhar, Baba Sahib Ambedkar said when he came from England after getting his degree of Doctor of Philosophy, there was nobody in India with such qualification.
He declined all tempting offers of Government jobs because he had a great feeling for the service of his community. He further said while in Congress Govt. he remained true to his people. His critics pointed out that he had joined the Congress. He explained that he remained like a rock which does not melt but turns the course of rivers.
He apprised that there were 30 SC MPs but they never asked any question and never submitted a bill for consideration in the Parliament, giving impression to the outside world that the people have no problems and they do not require any special consideration. He also said, he built the house for us. Now it is up to us to maintain it in proper order.
He has planted the tree, if we water it we will enjoy the fruits and it's shade. If not, we will have to sit in the sun and our community will be ruined. Kalsotra appealed to the community to come forth and strengthen the Confederation to complete the unfinished work of Baba Sahib for the welfare of the prople.

Speaking on the occasion, RL Kaith said Bab Saheb Ambedkar campaigned against the Indian caste system. He became a convert to Buddhism and is seen as a driving force in the surge of converts that saw many thousands of lower caste members become Buddhists.
He was the first untouchable of India to pursue a college degree. He earned a law degree and doctorates for his studies in law, economics and political science, gaining a reputation as a scholar and campaigning for political rights and social freedom for the lowest in the caste system, untouchables in 1927. He organised and led a march at Mohad, Maharashtra that eventually helped established equal rights for untouchables.
