NEW DELHI, 
CONGRESS President Mallikarjun Kharge on Friday visited the memorial and ‘mazaar’ of B R Ambedkar and Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, and paid tributes to the two freedom fighters and former Union Ministers.
After visiting Ambedkar’s memorial here, Kharge posted a quote of the former Law Minister and the chief architect of the Constitution on Twitter — “Bhakti in religion may be a road to the salvation of the soul. But in politics, Bhakti or hero-worship is a sure road to degradation and to eventual dictatorship.”
“Visited Dr B R Ambedkar Memorial in Delhi today and paid floral tributes to Babasaheb,” Kharge, who took over as Congress chief on Wednesday, said in a tweet and posted pictures of him paying homage to Ambedkar at the memorial.
Congress President Kharge also visited the ‘mazaar (grave)’ of Azad here and paid floral tributes to India’s first Education Minister.
“Paid floral tributes to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad at his mazaar in Delhi. A revolutionary freedom fighter and India’s first Education Minister, he believed in our country’s democratic and secular credentials and strongly opposed the idea of Partition on religious lines,” Kharge said on Twitter.
