As the country prepares to celebrate its 78th Independence Day on Thursday, August 15, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday urged the people in a social media post to make ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ a memorable mass movement again this year.

Prime Minister Modi changed his profile picture to the tricolour to celebrate Independence Day and urged everyone to do the same to make the Har Ghar Tiranga movement a memorable mass event. He also urged everyone to share a selfie with the Tiranga on harghartiranga.com.

To X, PM wrote, “As this year’s Independence Day approaches, let us once again make #HarGharTiranga a memorable mass movement. I am changing my profile picture and requesting you all to join me in celebrating our tricolour by doing the same. And yes, share your selfies on https://harghartiranga.com.”

Union Minister for Culture and Tourism Gajendra Singh Shekhawat on Thursday announced that the third edition of the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign will be held from August 9 to 15 on the occasion of the 78th Independence Day.

Soon after Prime Minister Modi’s appeal on social media, many users, including BJP leaders and supporters, changed their profile picture to the tricolour.

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has also updated his profile picture to X and urged people to join the mass movement.

“Change yours too! Let us celebrate our tricolour and strengthen our collective commitment to nation building,” he said.
