Stalin, Leader of the Opposition in the assembly, also paid floral tributes to a portrait of Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution and a Dalit icon, who passed away in 1956.

In a Facebook post, Stalin hailed Ambedkar as "a source of knowledge from India, this century's Buddha, a light for all the oppressed people and a guide to all at all times."

"I garlanded a portrait of Ambedkar at the Tiruvarur house of Kalaignar (the late M Karunanidhi) who always walked the path of social justice laid out by Ambedkar," he said.

The DMK chief also shared photos in this connection.
