The Prime Minister said that under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, a special campaign called “Har Ghar Tiranga” is being mobilised between August 13 and 15.

TERMING THE Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav a “mass movement”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday urged the people to use the Tricolour as their social media profile picture from August 2-15 this year, marking 75 years of Independence.

“Let us further this movement by hoisting the National Flag at our homes,” he said in his Mann Ki Baat radio programme.

The Prime Minister said that under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, a special campaign called “Har Ghar Tiranga” is being mobilised between August 13 and 15. “By becoming a part of this movement…you must hoist the Tricolour at your home, or adorn your home with it,” he said.

Urging the people to put the Tricolour as their social media profile picture from August 2-15, he noted that August 2 is the birth anniversary of Pingali Venkayya, who had designed the flag.

“When India completes 75 years of Independence, all of us are going to witness a splendid and historic moment,” he said, referring to August 15. “Had we been born in the era of slavery, then how would have we imagined this day.”
