NEW DELHI: Vice President CP Radhakrishnan on Wednesday flagged off a ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ bike rally in the national capital, calling on citizens to actively participate in the campaign and hoist the Tricolour with pride.
The rally, organised as part of the ongoing Har Ghar Tiranga campaign ahead of Independence Day, saw participation from NDA MPs and a large number of supporters carrying the national flag. The journey is scheduled to cover the stretch from Bharat Mandapam to Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium.
Addressing participants, Radhakrishnan said the different activities being organised under the campaign, including Tiranga yatras, bike rallies and cultural programmes, may differ in form but carry the same sentiment of national belonging.
“In Tiranga Yatra, bike rallies, cultural programmes, the activities are different but the sentiment they carry is the same, that is the collective sense of belonging,” he said.
Radhakrishnan also stressed that the message of the campaign should not end with the conclusion of the bike rally, urging citizens to carry the spirit of participation into their homes and communities. He added, “Journey doesn’t end when the rally does.”
Radhakrishnan said participation in the rally was a way of demonstrating commitment to the nation and setting an example for fellow citizens. He urged people to take the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign beyond rallies and encourage every citizen to display the national flag.
“I ask each one of you to actively engage in this Har Ghar Tiranga campaign and inspire every citizen to hoist the Tricolour with pride,” he said.
He also emphasised the unity of the country, saying, “Bharat is one, and it will be one forever.”
The Vice President also paid tribute to Pingali Venkayya, who designed the Indian national flag. He remembered Hansa Mehta, who led a group of 72 women to present the first National Flag of independent India to Dr. Rajendra Prasad
He said the spirit of the campaign should continue even after the rally ends, stressing that the larger objective was to build a lasting sense of national pride and participation.
