Govt leaving no stone unturned to create inclusive India: PM Modi


New Delhi, Dec 6 (PTI): Contending that B R Ambedkar's economic thought and vision has not been fully understood, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said the government is leaving no stone unturned to fulfil his vision and dreams to create a prosperous and inclusive India.

Releasing two commemorative coins of Rs 125 and Rs 10 denomination at his residence as part of the 125th death anniversary year celebrations of the architect of the Constitution, he said Ambedkar was a visionary and a profound thinker whose economic thought and vision is still not fully understood and needs to be appreciated, even though his contribution towards social justice have been recognised.

"Our government is leaving no stone unturned to fulfil the vision & dreams of Dr Ambedkar to create a prosperous & inclusive India," Modi said in a series of tweets after the function in which Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Thawar Chand Gehlot were also present.

The Prime Minister also highlighted Ambedkar's vision on women empowerment, federalism, economy and its relevance today.

"We are aware of Dr Ambedkar's contributions towards social justice but Babasaheb's thoughts on economic issues are equally enlightening. ... Dr Ambedkar will always be remembered as an original & profound thinker. His views on inclusiveness & harmony continue to inspire us," he said.

The Prime Minister said Ambedkar had faced lot of humiliation, yet his patriotism reflected in his work.

Referring to the recent two-day sitting in Parliament on Ambedkar, he said there was good discussion in both the Houses of Parliament. The members reviewed the present situation in the context of Ambedkar's perspective, he said.

There were people who asked why November 26 was being observed, the Prime Minister said, adding "I do not feel that somebody who understands Babasaheb Ambedkar would ask these questions."

Ambedkar and the Indian Constitution should always be discussed and talked about in this country, and the observance of Constitution Day on November 26 was a step in this direction, a statement issued by Prime Minister's Office said.

Modi said there were only a few individuals who remain alive in public consciousness, even 60 years after their death. "The more we recall Ambedkar's thought, in the context of issues currently faced by India, the more we come to respect his vision and his approach to inclusiveness."

He said it is because of great men like Babasaheb that India has scaled heights of progress. After releasing the coins, Modi said "nobody would have ever thought that there could be a day when Ambedkar picture could be on India's coin."

Earlier in the day, Modi paid floral tribute at the Dalit mascot's statue in Parliament House lawns. "Remembering Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar on his Punya Tithi," he posted on Twitter along with a photograph showing him and Ambedkar's statue.

    Maybe in another 20years, students in school will learn that Modi and BJP gave India and the world, all the slogans and only the slogans and just the slogans.

    Today after 18months of Modi rule most if not everybody realizes there is nothing actually happens.
    Foreign policy flip-flop, economy despite in a strong base put by learned Chidambarum is slacking, borders are on fire, people are fighting between themselves courtesy RSS and IM, jobs are only in papers, social welfare schemes are on the verge of collapse, even the recent CESS for swatch bharat is spent mostly on TV Advt. India already waken up and will wake up only after getting hurt badly.

    Modi by inaugurating statue of Basavanna in UK thinks people will follow Basavanna's Ideals

    Modi by inaugurating statue of Swami Vivekananda abroad thinks people will imbibe his preachings

    Modi by releasing 125 Rs coins expects Dr. Ambedkar's Economic Thought will become a reality.

    He has refined the art of Fekugiri. This latest fekugiri is a result of the hard kick on the nose and a## from Bihar.
    Suddenly Sardar Patel & Netaji Bose have been kept aside and Ambedkar is the new love.
    Really, really his Fekugiri does not have any limits.

    Bihar loss was due to OBC remark, obviously would have prompted the BJP & their mentor organization to embrace Dr Ambedkar...,

    Ullu banaawing.., i only wish the OBC must not yield & get fooled to such statements.

    Even RSS chief is talking of Dr Ambedkar all of a sudden (don't know for what....?) the only primary guess is that to repair the damage caused & felt in bihar election.

    poaching Dr Ambedkar legacy for image makeover after Bihar election outcome..., a good lesson is learnt. Hope the obc's don't succumb to such talks in the air(hawaa baazi).

    It appears foreign investors already downgraded their investment plans due to political vulnerability.., there is no visibility of BJP lead NDA returning after 2019.

    Dr. Ambedkar is one of the jewels of India. He is the messenger of equality, justice and a light to the oppressed and marginalized. Today, on his punya tihi and 125 birth anniversary year, I too salute to this great soul. If not for him and like minded forefathers, I would not have been able to express my views openly today. Jai India, Jai Bhim.

    MoDi is learning inclusive government and it's meaning after all those visits to western nations. Without inclusiveness life is half in all walk of our life from family to every walk of life. Business will collapse without team work or nations will collapse with out inclusive leaders. Look at most of middle eastern countries they don't have inclusive govt where either dictator ship rules or war and killing is the name of game where people has to live in fear every moment of thir life.MODI best thing is believe in god and practice religion at home and separate religion and govt business from your Rss and lead the nation exclusively without bias and god will put you on right path and country will prosper and it's citizens will remember you like gandhi.life is a gift to make a better place for all and life is short and we have to offer such gift faster
