Dehradun: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami hoisted the tricolor at his official residence in Dehradun on Wednesday as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign ahead of Independence Day. The Chief Minister also paid tribute to the victims of Partition on ‘Vibhishika Smriti Diwas’. “On Vibhishika Vibhishika Smriti Diwas, I pay tribute to the millions of families who suffered the pain of Partition and faced countless hardships. On this day in 1947, our country was partitioned on the basis of religion. This poison of discrimination and hatred displaced millions of brothers and sisters and took thousands of lives,” CM Dhami shared in a post on X.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah also hoisted the tricolor at his residence in the national capital as part of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath hoisted the tricolor at his residence in Lucknow and took a selfie with it while participating in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ initiative.
Earlier on Tuesday, Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar, along with Union ministers Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, Kiren Rijiju and Mansukh Mandaviya, flagged off a bike rally under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign from Bharat Mandapam in the national capital. Vice President Dhankhar said the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign is a symbol of our freedom, pride and commitment towards a developed India.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also urged citizens to hoist the national flag at their homes under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to mark Independence Day. In the 112th edition of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on July 28, Prime Minister Modi called upon all Indians to actively participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign to celebrate Independence Day. ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is an initiative under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, which was launched in 2021 to encourage people to bring the tricolor home and hoist it to commemorate the 75th anniversary of India’s independence. The aim of this campaign is to inculcate the feeling of patriotism in the hearts of people and increase awareness about the Indian national flag.
