Army hoisting national flag in Galwan with immense pride, says Dharmendra Pradhan

New Delhi: Indian Army is hoisting the national flag in Galwan with immense pride, said Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday, urging all to join the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign.

Pradhan was speaking at the 'Amrit Ratna' event of News18 India.

"Our Army is hoisting the national flag in Galwan with immense pride... It is unfortunate that some people see only politics in all the things. We don't think like this. 'Tiranga' belongs to everyone. We are requesting all to join this. It is not a matter of politics," Pradhan said when asked about National Conference chief Farooq Abdullah's recent statement on the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign.

In his 'Mann ki Baat' radio broadcast on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' is turning into a mass movement, and urged people to put 'Tiranga' as the profile picture of their social media handles between 2 and 15 August.

Pradhan said he has changed his social media profile picture and requested all to do the same.
