In a coordinated effort to honour the Tricolor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday changed the profile image on all of his social media accounts to a “tiranga” and invited others to do the same. In his Mann ki Baat radio address on Sunday, Prime Minister Modi stated that the “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” is becoming a widespread movement and he invited people to use the image “Tiranga” as their social media profile photo from August 2 to August 15.

“It is a special 2nd August today! At a time when we are marking Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, our nation is all set for Har Ghar Tiranga, a collective movement to celebrate our Tricolour. I have changed the DP on my social media pages and urge you all to do the same,” he said in a tweet this morning.

On the occasion of Pingali Venkayya’s birth, Modi also paid tribute to the designer of the flag. “Our nation will forever be indebted to him for his efforts of giving us the Tricolour, which we are very proud of. Taking strength and inspiration from the Tricolour, may we keep working for national progress,” Modi said.
