Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged all citizens to change their social media DPs to Tricolour as a collective movement to celebrate Har Ghar Tiranga.
PM Modi tweeted, “It is a special 2nd August today! At a time when we are marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, our nation is all set for #HarGharTiranga, a collective movement to celebrate our Tricolour. I have changed the DP on my social media pages and urge you all to do the same.”
PM Modi on Tuesday changed his profile picture on his social media handles to ‘Tiranga’. This comes ahead of this year’s Independence Day celebrations in the country.
On Sunday, during the broadcast of his monthly show ‘Mann Ki Baat’, PM Narendra Modi called upon all citizens to turn the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign into a mass movement by hoisting or displaying the national flag in their homes.
“Under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, from the 13th to the 15th of August, a special movement – ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is being organized. Let us further this movement by hoisting the National Flag at our homes,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday while addressing the monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’.
“August 2 is the birth anniversary of Pingli Venkhaiya who designed the National Flag. I urge all to use ‘tiranga’ as profile picture in social media accounts between August 2 and August 15,” he said.
‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ is a campaign under the aegis of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav to encourage people to bring the Tiranga home and to hoist it to mark the 75th year of India’s independence.
