Tiranga Yatra is to awaken patriotic fervour and protect nation from secessionist forces: C.T. Ravi
BJP MLC C.T. Ravi stated that the Tiranga Yatra aims to foster patriotism and combat "secessionist forces" dividing India along caste, community, and regional lines. He emphasized the need to protect constitutional values, criticized hesitation to sing "Vande Mataram," and supported amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) for accountability.
Why it matters
This reflects the ruling party's narrative on nationalism, national unity, and perceived threats, potentially influencing public discourse and policy on issues like foreign funding and social divisions.
MLC C.T. Ravi said the Tiranga Yatra is being organised to awaken patriotic fervour among the countrymen and prepare us to fight against forces that continue to divide the country on caste, community and regionalism lines.
Speaking at the conclusion of Tiranga Yatra organised by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Puttur on Friday, Mr. Ravi said this year it will be the 80th Independence day that the nation will be celebrating. India is a young nation, and there were still forces that are active to divide the nation on caste, community, regionalism and on corruption. Countrymen should be aware of these secessionist forces and nib at the bud the efforts to weaken the country. “The heads of such terrorists should be cut,” he said and specified that he was not talking about any individuals.
