Kashmiri Pandit activist puts up Tirangas at Hurriyat Conference office in Srinagar

New Delhi, Aug 4: Jammu and Kashmir Reconciliation Front chairman Sandeep Mawa attached Tirangas on the gate of Hurriyat office in Srinagar, Jammu, and Kashmir. The valley-based Kashmiri Pandit activist affixed two national flags as part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign ahead of the Independence Day.

 

The flags were however later removed by unknown persons. There has been no activity at the Hurriyat office in Srinagar since August 5, 2019 as most of the separatist leaders and activists are in jail. The chairman of Hurriyat Conference Mirwaiz Umar Farooq is under house detention since three years.

 

 

Speaking of Har Ghar Tiranga campaign, PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday changed his profile picture on social media accounts to a 'tiranga' or tricolour to begin a collective movement to celebrate the Indian flag. He also urged citizen of the country to do the same.

 

The ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign is part of the Centre's ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ programme as the country celebrates 75 years of independence. In his Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast on Sunday, PM Modi had said the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' was turning into a mass movement and urged people to put 'tiranga' as the profile picture of their social media accounts between August 2 and 15.

 

Prime Minister Modi has also urged people to hoist or display tricolour at their home between August 13 and 15 to strengthen the 'Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement.
