'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign tribute to freedom fighters' sacrifices: CM Adityanath
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has promoted the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign, framing the display of the national flag as a tribute to India's freedom fighters. The initiative encourages citizens to hoist the tricolour at their homes to celebrate national pride.
Why it matters
The campaign reflects the current government's efforts to foster nationalistic sentiment and institutionalize patriotic displays across the country.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday (August 10, 2026) said the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign is a tribute to the sacrifices of freedom fighters, and urged people to display the national flag at their homes with pride and respect.
Addressing a 'Tiranga Yatra' organised in Gorakhpur under the campaign, Mr. Adityanath said the tricolour represents the "immortal saga" of the sacrifices made by revolutionaries and freedom fighters during India's struggle for independence.
"This tricolour is the name of the immortal saga of the sacrifices of India's revolutionaries and freedom fighters. It is an inspiration from that immortal saga," he said.
The Chief Minister said the national flag evolved during the freedom movement, recalling that "Swadeshi" became a slogan of the freedom struggle in 1905 and the spinning wheel was later incorporated into the flag used by freedom fighters.
