Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged all Indians to take part in the highly celebrated “Har Ghar Tiranaga” movement from August 13 to August 15 as part of the Independence Day celebrations.
In an X post, the prime minister urged all the Indians to change their social media display picture to a National flag in a show of unity and to promote the spirit of nationalism. He further added that the exercise will deepen the bond between our country and us.
“In the spirit of the Har Ghar Tiranga movement, let us change the DP of our social media accounts and extend support to this unique effort which will deepen the bond between our beloved country and us,” PM Modi said in the post.
Earlier, the prime minister also asked Indians to upload their favourite picture of themselves with the national flag on the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ website.
“The Tiranga symbolises the spirit of freedom and national unity. Every Indian has an emotional connect with the Tricolour and it inspires us to work harder to further national progress. I urge you all to take part in the #HarGharTiranga movement between the 13th to 15th of August. Upload your photos with the Tiranga here,” PM Modi wrote.
The Har Ghar Tiranga website also urges people to hoist and display a national flag in their houses as part of India’s I-Day celebration. It also has the option of uploading selfies with a flag.
“Get featured in Digital Tiranga Art by uploading a selfie with a flag,” the website says.
Meanwhile, to give a boost to Indian Government’s ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement, around 2.5 crore national flags have been supplied to post offices for sale, a top official of the culture ministry told PTI on Saturday.
