Punjab BJP President Kewal Singh Dhillon initiated a pilgrimage for devotees on the Panch Teerth Yatra associated with Dr B.R. Ambedkar. The yatra, set to run until June 21, will visit five significant pilgrimage sites related to Babasaheb Dr B.R. Ambedkar’s life and legacy.
The pilgrimage aims to provide participants with the opportunity to explore historic locations linked to Dr Ambedkar’s life, which have been developed and revitalized under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The sites include Mhow, Deekshabhoomi in Nagpur, Chaityabhoomi in Mumbai, Mahaparinirvan Sthal in Delhi, and the Virtual Shiksha Bhoomi in Delhi.
Approximately 150 devotees are partaking in this distinctive pilgrimage. S.R. Laddhar, President of the BJP Scheduled Caste Morcha, Punjab, and a former IAS officer, will lead the delegation. The primary goal of the Panch Teerth Yatra is to spread Babasaheb Dr Ambedkar’s message across all sections of society and show the nation’s gratitude towards him.
Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, these pilgrimage sites have received special national recognition and honor for the first time. The BJP government has invested around Rs 2,000 crore in developing and preserving these memorials to ensure that Babasaheb’s thoughts, ideals, and contributions continue to inspire future generations.
