Taking to Twitter, he said, "Today, 6 December, is a very special day. First, the death anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar. The man who gave self-respect to the people who were so far shunned as 'untouchables'; and later drafted our Constitution."


"Secondly it is on this day that the symbol of shame, the structure put up by Mir Banki, a Turko-Afghan invader over the birthplace of Prabhu Ram at Ayodhya, a symbol of slavery, was pulled down by a patriotic crowd. A Ram Mandir is under construction there," he added.
