Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday remembered Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the Constitution, on his death anniversary, saying, "From birth till the end of our lives, we should be identified as Indians."

Addressing a program organized here to mark the 63rd foundation day of the Uttar Pradesh Home Guard, Adityanath said that today is Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar's 'Mahaparinirvan Diwas', and it is a day that inspires ('Prerana Diwas').

Adityanath said, "Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar has inspired every Indian. He used to say that our identity is not determined by our family, our caste, our region, or our language. Rather, every Indian should have the feeling that from birth till the end of our lives, we should be identified as Indians." Ambedkar, one of the chief architects of the Constitution, was also the first Law Minister of independent India. He died on this day in 1956.
