“Installation of Dr Ambedkar’s statue will be a tribute to his tireless efforts in shaping India’s Constitution and promoting social justice besides inspire future generations to strive for equality and human rights,” said Kalsotra.
The Confederation also requested the Chief Justice to consider recommending Scheduled Caste candidates for elevation as judges of the High Court. “This would be a pivotal step towards promoting social justice, equity and fair play, as no Scheduled Caste candidate has held this position since the High Court’s inception in 1928,” said Kalsotra and hoped that tenure of Tashi Rabstan will usher in a speedy and efficient judicial system, ensuring timely justice for all.
