The birth anniversary of B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Constitution, will be observed as the Day of Equality in Tamil Nadu on April 14 every year, Chief Minister M.K. Stalin announced in the Assembly on Wednesday.
In a suo motu statement, Mr. Stalin said a pledge would be taken that day.
The decision followed a representation made at a State-level meeting held on Tuesday for observing Ambedkar’s birth anniversary as the Day of Equality, just as the birth anniversary of ‘Periyar’ E.V. Ramasamy was being observed as the Day of Social Justice.
