'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign tribute to freedom fighters' sacrifices: CM Adityanath
He said it is a matter of pride that citizens can now display the national flag at their homes
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath praised the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign on Monday, August 10, 2026, as a tribute to the sacrifices made by freedom fighters during India's struggle for independence. At a Tiranga Yatra organized in Gorakhpur, Adityanath emphasized that the tricolour symbolizes the immortal saga of revolutionaries and freedom fighters' sacrifices.
He highlighted that India's tricolour evolved during the freedom movement, referencing the Swadeshi movement and the incorporation of the spinning wheel into the flag. Adityanath noted the adoption of the tricolour by independent India, featuring the Ashoka Chakra to represent the country's states and ideals.
The CM credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for enabling citizens to display the national flag at home after amendments to the Flag Code in 2022. He announced Uttar Pradesh's goal to hoist the tricolour at five crore homes this year, with every institution involved in the campaign. Adityanath paid tribute to freedom fighters like Mangal Pandey, Shaheed Bandhu Singh, Rani Lakshmibai, and others, emphasizing their sacrifices.
He also addressed the controversy surrounding the Kakori train action, clarifying that the British incorrectly called it a dacoity. Adityanath stressed that revolutionaries' contributions were often overlooked after independence, and today, they are being recognized with the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign.
