Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday praised the armed forces for avenging the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed the lives of 26 innocent civilians. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also participated in the rally.
“LG Sinha flagged off the Tiranga Yatra from Dal Lake. Thousands of people proudly joined to honour the National Flag, which symbolizes our unity, pride, and shared identity. He paid tributes to our forefathers and brave hearts who laid down their lives to keep the Tricolour flying high in its full glory,” said an official statement.
During his address at the Tiranga Yatra, LG Sinha called upon citizens to honour the sacrifices made for the country’s freedom and security.
“I want to pay tributes to those who laid down their lives to free us from imperial colonialism, and to the armed forces and police who avenged the Pahalgam attack and saved the nation. Our duty is to protect their hopes and aspirations,” he said.
He also said for the last five years, the enthusiasm for the Tiranga Yatra has only increased.
He said the Tiranga Yatra holds special significance as it aligns with the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat’ (Developed India).
“From August 2, we initiated the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign, and the energy we witnessed among the youth of Jammu and Kashmir was inspiring. We have resolved to live for the tricolour and happily lay our lives for its honor,” he said.
He also credited Narendra Modi for making hectic efforts in realising the dreams of the youth of Jammu and Kashmir. (KNO)
