Jammu, Aug 3: BJP Mahila Morcha J&K Spokesperson Ritika Trehan today appealed people of J&K to join the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' Campaign ahead of Independence Day. She however, hit out at the Opposition for politicizing a patriotic campaign. With this campaign, she said, the tricolour will be hoisted in about 20 crore homes across the country, which will work to further brighten the flame of patriotism amongst citizens, especially the youth. By doing so, we will be able to increase the youths respect and attachment to the tricolour, as well as make them aware about the sacrifices of the brave hearts that fought for Freedom,” said Ritika. In a statement issued here, she said, from 13th to 15th August, PM Modi has announced a programme to hoist the tricolour in every house. It is our responsibility to hoist the tricolour & respect the tricolour on 15th Aug. It is our responsibility to hoist the tricolour as we are celebrating India's 75th independence & we must do it, she added. Trehan further said that we are legally Indian, but emotionally you can become Indian when you show respect to the Constitution, to those who sacrificed their everything in the freedom struggle or by hoisting 'Har Ghar Tiranga'." She added, "So, for me, it is important that being a legal Indian citizen, emotionally consider Bharat as your mother, unite with Mother India, it is most important, so it is an opportunity to us to unite ourself with Mother India." She slammed the opposition over politicizing the campaign, and said, "only Congress and Communist parties are opposing it. They are bereft of any agenda. Hence, they are coming up with such issues. It is good for the nation if this campaign is supported. She said, “Our national flag not only unites every Indian but also strengthens their spirit of devotion to the nation. |
