Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched 'Tiranga Yatra' on May 13 and it will continue till May 23. The yatra aims to honour the valour of Indian soldiers and inform citizens about Operation Sindoor's recent success.
The campaign kicked off in Delhi on May 13 with a symbolic march featuring a 108-foot-tall national flag.
Senior leaders, including Sambit Patra, Vinod Tawde, and Tarun Chugh, were tasked with coordinating the campaign across regions.
The party will hold press conferences nationwide and will engage social media influencers to amplify the campaign's message digitally and reach younger audiences.
Operation Sindoor was launched on May 7, targeting terror bases in Pakistan in retaliation for the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. The operation targeted terror infrastructure deep inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir, eliminating terrorists linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and Hizbul Mujahideen.
In a swift and decisive retaliation, Indian forces eliminated over 100 terrorists across the border in Pakistan. Though Pakistan launched a counteroffensive, India responded with force, leading to a ceasefire and reasserting its defence posture. (ANI)
