The RSS mouthpiece, ‘Panchjanya’, was praised by Governor Ram Naik on Thursday for publishing a special issue dedicated to Dr Bhimrao Ambedkar with detailed and correct facts about him.

While addressing a gathering after releasing the issue on Ambedkar, Naik said the society has done injustice to Ambedkar by restricting his profile only as an architect of the Constitution of India who comes from a Dalit family, and his complete profile has not come before the public so far.

“Panchjanya has given reliable information about Ambedkar in the special issue and I commend it for being such an authentic source of data,” Governor said.

The magazine was released during a seminar titled ‘Ambedkar’s social vision and modern India’, organised by RSS associated with Awadh prant.

Calling Ambedkar ‘Rashtra Purush’, the governor said that he was a leader of the entire nation. He said Ambedkar had no greed for power and had even resigned from the Cabinet of the Jawaharlal Nehru government over ideological differences.

RSS Awadh Prant Sanghchalak Prabhu Narain Srivastava said if Nehru and other leaders would have taken cognizance of Ambedkar’s warning, terrorists like Hafiz Saeed, jihadi leader Abu Bakr-al-Baghdadi and separatist leader Masarat Alam would not have surfaced.
