As India prepares to celebrate its 78th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on citizens to actively participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign by hoisting the national flag at their homes. On Friday, PM Modi changed his social media profile picture to the Tricolour and encouraged others to do the same. He also urged people to share selfies with the national flag on the official website, https://harghartiranga.com, as part of the campaign.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), PM Modi wrote, “As this year’s Independence Day approaches, let’s again make #HarGharTiranga a memorable mass movement. I am changing my profile picture and I urge you all to join me in celebrating our Tricolour by doing the same. And yes, do share your selfies on https://harghartiranga.com.”
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) plans to launch the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign nationwide from August 11. During this time, the party will conduct Tiranga Yatras from August 11 to August 14, with the national flag being hoisted on every house, shop, and office. A cleanliness drive will also be carried out as part of the initiative.
In his 112th ‘Mann Ki Baat’ address on July 28, Prime Minister Modi emphasized the importance of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign in celebrating Independence Day. He highlighted the growing trend of taking selfies with the national flag and sharing them on social media, urging party leaders and workers to ensure that the national flag is hoisted everywhere.
The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign is part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, which began in 2021 to commemorate the 75th year of India’s independence. The campaign aims to foster patriotism and increase awareness about the Indian National Flag. Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is an initiative by the Government of India to celebrate 75 years of independence, honoring the country’s rich history, culture, and achievements. It also aligns with PM Modi’s vision of “India 2.0,” driven by the spirit of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. (ANI)
