The BJP on Friday claimed that the target of having 20 crore households hoisting tricolor on Independence Day will be reached and that the government's 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign has seen an “ unprecedented response” across the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in his ‘mann ki baat’ urged people to make ‘Har ghar Tiranga’ a big success across the country and the BJP has taken upon itself to ensure that 20 crore houses hoist the national flag in their houses.
Addressing a press conference here at the party headquarters, BJP general secretary Arun Singh said that party president J P Nadda will also inaugurate an exhibition in the national Capital on August 13 to mark the 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day', which falls on August 14.
He said he exhibition will highlight the atrocities people faced during the partition . “Silent marches will also be taken out in every district on that day, he added. "It will send out the resolve that everyone is together for national unity and integrity," he said.
On the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, Singh said the exercise which started from August 9 has reached all corners of the country with MPs and other elected representatives joining it to encourage people to be a part of the initiative.
Singh also asked people to take a selfie with the national flag at their homes during the exercise between August 13-15 and post it on the official website for this.
Singh said few years ago no one could think of unfurling tricolor in Kashmir but today it is being hoisted at ‘Lal Chowk’ and ‘Dal Lake’.
