Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the Tricolour represents the sacrifice of freedom fighters, the valour of brave soldiers, the penance of mothers, the hard work of farmers and the dreams of our youth. The whole Kurukshetra is conveying a single message—that nothing is greater than the nation, and there is no greater pride than waving the Tricolour.
At the call of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign has now become a mass movement and a celebration of national pride. Launched in 2022, the campaign has strengthened the emotional bond of every citizen with the National Flag.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was addressing the state-level Tiranga Yatra organised in the Ladwa and Thanesar Assembly constituencies on Monday. Earlier, the Chief Minister flagged off the state-level Tiranga Yatra from Pipli Mandal. MP Naveen Jindal, former Minister of State Subhash Sudha, along with thousands of citizens and party workers, participated in the yatra. The Tiranga Yatra passed through the Police Lines, New Bus Stand and Dronacharya Stadium before concluding at the Shaheedi Smarak located at the Mini Secretariat in Thanesar.
Thousands of people participated in the yatra, carrying the Tricolour in their hands and raising spirited slogans of Bharat Mata Ki Jai, filling the atmosphere with the spirit of patriotism.
At the Shaheedi Smarak, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini paid floral tribute to the martyrs and honoured their family members by presenting them with shawls. Thereafter, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, MP Naveen Jindal and former Minister of State Subhash Sudha planted Kadam saplings at the Shaheedi Smarak.
Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that seeing the Tricolour in the hands of the common people filled his heart with reverence and patriotism. Kurukshetra is no ordinary land. It is the sacred land where Lord Shri Krishna gave humanity the immortal message of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita—never step back from your duty. It is from this very land that the Tiranga Yatra is being taken out. This remarkable coincidence reminds us that fulfilling our duty towards the nation is the Rashtra Dharma of the modern era. He said that the Gita teaches us Karmayoga, while the Tricolour teaches us Rashtrayoga.
The Chief Minister said that there was a time when the Tricolour was seen only on government buildings. Today, it is waving in every street, every village, every rooftop, every shop and in the hearts of every Indian. When the Tricolour adorns a farmer’s tractor, every particle of the soil is filled with patriotism. And when a child walks carrying the Tricolour in his or her hands, we see in that child the future of a Viksit Bharat.
He said that today, in front of the Tricolour, our resolve should be that no daughter will remain deprived of education, no daughter will feel unsafe, and no daughter’s dreams will be restricted by discrimination.
He said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has placed before the nation the resolve to make India a developed nation by 2047. When India completes 100 years of independence in 2047, what the country will look like will be determined by our actions today. He said that Haryana’s role in this grand vision of a Viksit Bharat is extremely important. We must modernise our villages without forgetting our culture.
The Chief Minister said that the Tiranga Yatra should also convey the message of social unity. Our languages may be different, our attire may be different and our ways of worship may be different, but our Tricolour is one. The Tricolour is the identity and heartbeat of 1.4 billion Indians. When the Tricolour flutters, all distinctions of big and small, rich and poor, urban and rural disappear. The only identity that remains is that we are all Indians.
He said that as the Tiranga Yatra moves forward, our resolve should also move forward with every step. There should be a Tricolour in every hand, India in every heart and national interest in every action. The Tricolour should flutter not only on the rooftops of our homes but should also be visible in our character.
*The Tricolour is Our Identity and Vande Mataram is Our Voice: Naveen Jindal*
Kurukshetra Lok Sabha MP Naveen Jindal said that the sight of the Tricolour in every hand in the holy city of Kurukshetra today represents a dream he had seen 34 years ago in the United States. Citizens in the US used to fly their national flag at their homes. This inspired him to dream that the same could be done in India. He fought a legal battle for 10 years and, with the support of his associates, succeeded in securing this right.
He appealed to citizens to rise above politics, caste and religion and hoist the Tricolour at their homes. He said that this is the resolve that will show the way towards achieving the goal of a developed India. The Tricolour is our identity and Vande Mataram is our voice. He said that Vande Mataram is completing 150 years.
He said that under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, Haryana is steadily moving towards becoming a developed state.
He said that whatever was sought for Kurukshetra was provided by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. Former Minister Sh. Subhash Sudha also addressed the Tiranga Yatra on the occasion. Thousands of people participated in the Tiranga Yatra.
