Earlier, MPs participated in a Tiranga bike rally that was held on August 3 to pay tribute to the freedom fighters as part of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav. The rally started at Red Fort.

Ahead of the 75th Independence Day this year, the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last month. It aims at evoking a feeling of patriotism by exhorting people across the country to hoist the national flag between August 13 and 15, when the country completes 75 years of its independence.

Launching the campaign, PM Modi had said in a tweet that it will “deepen our connect with the national flag”.
