On Sunday, Central Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah inaugurated the Tiranga Yatra organized under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. In his address, Shah stated, “Our ancestors struggled for a long time to attain independence for the country. Their sacrifice is a tradition for all the youth of the nation. In honour of the martyrs, from August 13th to August 15th, let’s make the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign successful by flying the flag in every home, making the tricolor a part of every household. Gujarat has a population of 60 million and nearly 10 million families. If every home flies the flag, then Gujarat and the country will become adorned with the tricolor.”
On this occasion, Shah urged the citizens to celebrate the “Azadi ka Amrit Kaal” from August 15, 2023, to 2047. Thousands of people participated in the program, holding flags in their hands, showcasing that the campaign initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to ignite patriotism in the hearts of the citizens is indeed succeeding. Just like the previous year, this year as well, under the leadership of Modi and Shah, the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign is being carried out. As part of the “Meri Mati Mera Desh” program, youth from all over the country will bring soil and the tricolor to Delhi to present to the Prime Minister.
Shah emphasized that just like the “Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav” became a means to unite and invoke patriotism, the “Meri Mati Mera Desh” campaign will make the dream of a self-reliant and developed India in the future. In the past 9 years, while the country has been achieving new heights of development, various campaigns have also been conducted to awaken the spirit of patriotism within the citizens. Through Modi’s leadership and Shah’s guidance, these campaigns are instilling the determination to make India great in the hearts of the people.
From 1857 to 1947, for 90 years, millions of freedom fighters sacrificed their lives to secure the nation’s independence. As a result, for the last 75 years, the country has become the world’s largest democracy, making its mark globally. The Modi-Shah duo has given a new identity to the forgotten martyrs and places associated with the freedom movement across the nation. In the last 9 years, the country has gained new global recognition. Currently, India’s economy ranks 5th in the world. During his two-day Gujarat visit, Shah also laid the foundation stones and inaugurated several development projects.
