Mysore/Mysuru: Maintaining that Dr. B. R. Ambedkar always strived for liberating the oppressed classes from societal shackles, University of Mysore (UoM) Vice-Chancellor Prof. G. Hemantha Kumar observed that the Poona Pact signed between Dr. Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi will remain as an important landmark in Indian political history.
He was speaking after inaugurating an interactive-session on ‘Poona Pact and the Aftermath,’ organised by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Research and Extension Centre, marking the 89th anniversary of the signing of the Pact, at the new Vishwajnani auditorium at Manasagangothri here this morning.
