<p>Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar said that `Har Ghar Tiranga` reflects our independence, pride and commitment to Viksit Bharat.</p>
<p>"This is a very important day for us. <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-maharashtra-cm-shinde-launches-har-ghar-tiranga-campaign-ahead-of-independence-day-23373262" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"><strong>Har Ghar Tiranga</strong></a> is a campaign that is a part of `Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav`. In 2021, this was started to encourage people to bring Tiranga home and hoist it on Independence Day. Now, this has become a movement, now crores of people hoist the Tiranga at their houses. I have no doubts that a new record will be made in the coming Independence Day...`Har Ghar Tiranga` reflects our independence, pride, and commitment to Viksit Bharat. This signifies that this century belongs to India...A few years ago, India was a matter of concern for the world in terms of economy. Today, we are swiftly going ahead towards becoming the 3rd global superpower, we are the 5th today..." said Vice President Dhankhar, the ANI reported.</p>
