Leading a big Tiranga Yatra in Srinagar on Wednesday, lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday reaffirmed the immortal spirit of India’s unity and the indomitable courage of its people and said the yatra in the Kashmir valley sends a clear message that India must never stop and always move forward.
Today’s event marked the confluence of two monumental celebrations, the mass movement of Har Ghar Tiranga and the 150th anniversary of the national song Vande Mataram. Hundreds of people including officials and deputy chief minister Surinder Chowdhary and CM’s advisor Nasir Aslam Wani also attended the rally that began from SKICC.
The LG said that the Tiranga is the living embodiment of India’s consciousness and pride and said that the Tiranga Yatra in the Kashmir Valley sends a clear message that India must never stop and always move forward.
“In 2022, when the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign was launched under ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, its purpose was to rekindle in every Indian’s heart a sense of closeness, respect, and emotional connection toward the Tricolour. When the Tiranga flutters simultaneously on millions of homes, 140 crore Indians’ hearts beat as one in a single sentiment, a single faith, a single resolve. Today, Tiranga Yatra has evolved into a festival of people’s consciousness, a tradition of patriotism, and a cultural value binding every citizen to the motherland,” he said adding that the Tiranga is the soul of our nation and ‘Vande Mataram’ is the immortal voice of that soul.
The celebrations also featured the screening of a special documentary by the Department of Culture, followed by Tiranga concert where artists paid a musical tribute to the nation’s bravehearts.
