Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is turning into a mass movement and urged people to put tiranga as profile picture of their social media platforms between August 2 and 15.
In his Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast, Modi noted that under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav programme to mark the 75th anniversary of India’s Independence, a special campaign Har Ghar Tiranga is being organised between August 13 and 15.
He urged people to hoist or display the national flag at their homes during the campaign. “Let us further this movement by hoisting the National Flag at our homes,” he said.
Modi also urged people to put from August 2-15 tricolour as the profile picture of their accounts on social media platforms, noting that August 2 is the birth anniversary of Pingali Venkayya who had designed the flag.
The prime minister said he was happy that the Mahotsav is taking the form of a mass movement, with people from all walks of life and from every section of society participating in different programmes across the country.
