Raipur (thestates.news) | Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai on Monday led a grand ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in Raipur, walking alongside thousands of citizens with the national flag in his hand. The march, from Balbir Singh Juneja Indoor Stadium to Subhash Stadium, brought together people from different sections of society, with the route echoing with slogans of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ and ‘Vande Mataram’.
Shri Sai said the tricolour represents India’s unity, integrity, pride and the sacrifices made during the freedom struggle. “Tiranga has the power to unite 140 crore Indians,” he said, adding that despite differences in language, culture, traditions and regions, the national flag unites people through a shared sense of national pride. Referring to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, Shri Sai urged people to hoist the national flag at their homes on Independence Day with due respect and join Tiranga Yatras.
Chief Minister said people from every part of the country and across society contributed to the freedom struggle. Many sacrificed their lives, gave up their homes and families, and laid down their lives for the motherland. Their sacrifices made India’s freedom and democracy possible.
