As India gears up to celebrate its 75th Independence Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday appealed to people to strengthen the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement by hoisting or displaying the national flag in their homes between August 13-15.
In a Twitter thread, he said this movement will deepen our connection with the tricolour and noted that it was on today, July 22, 75 years back that the national flag was adopted.
“Today, we recall the monumental courage and efforts of all those who dreamt of a flag for free India when we were fighting colonial rule. We reiterate our commitment to fulfil their vision and build the India of their dreams,” he said.
Today, 22nd July has a special relevance in our history. It was on this day in 1947 that our National Flag was adopted.
