GUWAHATI: Assam Governor Lakshman Prasad Acharya on Thursday urged people to participate in the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign and described the Tricolour as a symbol of the nation’s sovereignty, dignity and unity.
Addressing a public meeting and cultural programme at the Shri Shri Damodardeva International Auditorium, Acharya said the campaign offered citizens an opportunity to express their love for the nation and renew their collective resolve to build a Viksit Bharat.
Recalling the sacrifices of freedom fighters, he highlighted the significance of the 150th anniversary of Vande Mataram and said the national song continued to inspire unity, integrity and progress. The Governor also appealed to people to extend the spirit of the Tricolour beyond their homes through their thoughts, actions and sense of duty.
