BJP organises Tiranga Yatra in national capital's Central, North West areas
The Delhi unit of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) organised district-level Tiranga Yatras in Outer, North West and New Delhi areas on Sunday with leaders praising the bravery of soldiers and highlighting tough anti-terror doctrine laid down by Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government.
North West Delhi MP and BJP General Secretary Yogendra Chandolia said that the country is changing under the leadership of PM Modi.
He stated that the action taken by India against Pakistan through Operation Sindoor is proof that the country will no longer remain under pressure and will respond in the same language as the aggressor.
He praised the bravery of Indian soldiers on the border, stating it has sent a strong message throughout Pakistan that India will no longer stay silent in the face of terror.
MP Kamaljeet Sehrawat, who took part in the march with Chandolia in Matiala and Dwarka Assembly areas, said that the new India seeks peace but is ready to go to any extent to eliminate terrorism.
On this occasion, MLAs Sandeep Sehrawat and Pradyuman Rajput, along with District President Ramesh Shokhanda and thousands of party workers, were present.
New Delhi MP Bansuri Swaraj led the march in New Delhi and Karol Bagh Assembly areas. Party MLAs Satish Upadhyay, Shikha Rai, and Olympic medalist boxer Vijender Singh led the Tiranga Yatras along with thousands of BJP workers.
Addressing Tiranga Yatras in New Delhi and Karol Bagh, Swaraj said that Operation Sindoor was not just a retaliatory strike by the Indian armed forces against terrorism, but also a show of New India's strength towards Pakistan.
She said under PM Modi's leadership, India has made it clear that blood and water cannot flow together.
'This is the declaration of a new India — where responses are not just in words but through resolve and courage. Operation Sindoor is a historic mission for self-defence, justice, and restoration of national pride. It symbolises a national awakening where every Indian's blood now flows for self-respect,' she said.
Addressing the march participants in Malviya Nagar, Upadhyay said that these yatras offer an opportunity for Delhi and the country to stand in solidarity with the grieving sisters of Pahalgam.
At the same time, these Tiranga Yatras represent a national resolve to intensify the fight against terrorism.
Shikha Rai, MLA from Greater Kailash, said the march was not just a symbol of solidarity with the victims but also an expression of deep gratitude to our brave soldiers who displayed extraordinary valour and unwavering courage during Operation Sindoor.

'Is your filmmaker mother disappointed?': Zohran Mamdani shares Mira Nair's take on his videos
Indian-origin Democrat Zohran Mamdani has been turning heads in the 2025 New York mayoral race, taking on incumbent Andrew Cuomo with the hope of becoming the city's first Muslim and Indian-American mayor. The 33-year-old democratic socialist is the son of renowned Indian-American filmmaker Mira Nair and Ugandan academic Mahmood Mamdani. As his campaign gains momentum, Mamdani has cleverly woven Bollywood references and Hindi into his outreach to New York's diverse voter base. Appearing on the Throwing Fits podcast, Mamdani was asked: "Is your filmmaker mother disappointed that you are filming all your social media content on an iPhone and in 16x9?" Mamdani laughed before revealing that, far from being disappointed, Nair is always interested in his campaign's video production. "She asks me 'Why aren't you sending me cuts?'," Mamdani said. He added that his mother even jokes about the quality of his viral videos: "She was telling somebody, 'His stuff is so good, people are asking if I am making it.'" A post shared by Throwing Fits (@throwingfits) Nair has openly celebrated her son's political rise. After Mamdani won his election to the New York State Assembly, she posted on X: 'And Zohran is in! Change is gonna come.' Mamdani's unique campaign style includes one particularly viral video shot entirely in Hindi, amassing millions of views on social media. The video riffs off scenes and dialogues from Amitabh Bachchan's 1975 classic Deewar, with Mamdani cheekily reworking the iconic line "mere pass maa hai" to tell voters that they are what he has. Beyond his creative campaigning, Mamdani has laid out an ambitious progressive platform: guaranteeing housing for all New Yorkers, eliminating cash bail, banning solitary confinement, fixing the MTA, ending workplace discrimination, and championing social, racial, economic, and environmental justice. Born in Kampala, Uganda, Mamdani moved to New York City with his family at the age of seven and has called the city home ever since. (Also read: Who is Rama Duwaji?
