Hitting out at the Congress for criticising BJP’s Har Ghar Tiranga programme, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai appealed against the efforts to belittle the national tricolour that symbolises the sacrifices and the struggle made for the country’s freedom.
Fielding queries from reporters in Mysuru on the tirade launched against the BJP by the Congress, Mr. Bommai recalled the efforts made for India’s freedom struggle and said, “Don’t distort the freedom struggle”, while making an appeal to accurately inform the next generation about it.
“The country’s unity and future lies underneath the tricolour. Don’t belittle the national flag or talk lightly about the people, who hold it aloft. It does not behove any patriotic person,” he said before adding that the citizens of the country will not pay heed to such statements and celebrate the Azadi Ka Amruth Mahotsav with patriotic spirit and fervour. “A few don’t know our history while a few others try to distort it,” he said referring to the Congress’ criticism against the BJP.
