Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (August 9) urged citizens to transform the "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign into a memorable national movement as Independence Day approaches. In a symbolic gesture, he updated his profile picture on social media to feature the national flag and encouraged others to follow suit.
In a post on X, PM Modi said, "As this year's Independence Day approaches, let's once again make Har Ghar Tiranga a memorable mass movement. I am changing my profile picture and I urge you all to join me in celebrating our Tricolour by doing the same. And yes, do share your selfies on harghartiranga.com."
The initiative was first announced by PM Modi during his July 28 radio broadcast, "Mann Ki Baat." In the 112th edition of the program, PM Modi called for the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan to be celebrated as a national festival.
