JAMMU: Pawan Sharma, Senior BJP leader and State Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir, has reaffirmed that the Tiranga Yatra and Har Ghar Tiranga campaign launched by the Bharatiya Janata Party are a concerted effort to fortify national unity, integrity, and patriotic fervour across the nation, particularly in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. He made these remarks while addressing a one-day workshop on Tiranga Yatra and Har Ghar Tiranga, organized by the District unit of BJP Doda.

Addressing party workers during the workshop of Tiranga Yatra and Har Ghar Tiranga in Doda, Sharma stated, that “the Tricolour is not merely a flag; it is the soul of our national identity and pride. The BJP's campaign ensures that every citizen, every home, and every heart beats in unison with the spirit of Bharat.”

He highlighted how the Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan, under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, has transcended political boundaries to become a national people’s movement. It has brought people of all walks of life together under the common banner of the Tiranga, reinforcing Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat.

Sharma observed that Jammu and Kashmir, having historically confronted challenges owing to separatist narratives, is presently experiencing a new era of unity and patriotism. The energetic participation of youth, students, women, and senior citizens in the Tiranga Yatras, previously held across districts, is a clear indication that the region is adopting a new collective identity grounded in the Constitution, democracy, and the spirit of the Tricolour.

He further stated, “The Tiranga is now flying high not just on buildings but in hearts that were once misled. This is the real transformation that the BJP has brought about — from separatism to nationalism, from silence to celebration, and from fear to freedom.” Sharma appealed to every citizen of Jammu and Kashmir to proudly hoist the Tricolour at their homes from August 11 to August 15, and actively participate in the rallies, awareness drives, and cultural events being organized across the UT.

He concluded by expressing confidence that such initiatives will deepen the roots of democracy and inspire a stronger, more united India, with Jammu and Kashmir playing a leading role. Among the distinguished speakers who shared their insights on the occasion were Baburam Sharma, BJP District President Doda, Manjeet Razdan, BJP secretary J&K, Vipan Sharma, BJP organising secretary Udhampur Kathua Parliamentary Constituency, Dhanantar Singh Kotwal, DDC chairman, Rakesh Sharma, Sanjay Saraf and Ashok Bhagat, all General Secretaries, who collectively inspired a sense of optimism, patriotism and empowerment.
