Tiranga Yatra:Salute to Bharat Mata, freedom heroes and brave soldiers, says CM Yogi
Lucknow, Aug 13 (UNI) As India marks 78 years of Independence, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi
Adityanath has cautioned against forces attempting to fracture social unity through divisions based on
society, region, language or caste and urged that such elements be exposed.
Launching the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign from his official residence yesterday, he called upon every
home to proudly hoist the tricolor as a symbol of national pride and respect for soldiers.
Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal, the August 13–15 campaign, along with Tiranga
Yatras across villages, towns and districts, aim at spreading reverence for the Constitution, national symbols, freedom fighters and great leaders during Amrit Kaal, he remarked.
'From villages to towns and districts, Tiranga Yatras are setting an inspiring example. In Uttar Pradesh too, people are enthusiastically participating in 'Har Ghar Tiranga' and 'Selfie with Tiranga campaigns',' he said.
The Tricolor, Yogi added, stands as a symbol of the nation's pride and respect for its soldiers and should adorn every Indian household.
The Chief Minister led the Tiranga Yatra amid the tunes of patriotic songs and flagged off the march from his residence. Highlighting India's global standing the Chief Minister said, 'The world has witnessed India's courage, strength during Operation Sindoor. This recognition also places a responsibility on every Indian to uphold the nation's honour.'
He appealed to 140 crore citizens to rise above personal interests, dedicate themselves to the nation, hoist the Tricolor in every home and participate actively in the grand celebration of independence.
Referring to the ambitious goal of 'Viksit Bharat Atmanirbhar Bharat' by 2047 set by the Prime Minister, CM Yogi reaffirmed his commitment to making 'Viksit Uttar Pradesh Atmanirbhar Uttar Pradesh' a guiding mantra for life.
Meanwhile, with the Tricolor in hand and chants of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram', CM Yogi marched alongside his cabinet colleagues and public representatives, leading the Tiranga Yatra through the
streets of Lucknow.
Before flagging off the march from his residence, he interacted with and took selfies with school children, NCC cadets, scout guides and enthusiastic youth.
