NEW DELHI: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi hoists the national flag on the 77th Independence Day on Tuesday from the ramparts of the historic Red Fort, he will create a record of sorts. He will equal his immediate predecessor Manmohan Singh’s record of hoisting the tricolour for 10 consecutive times.
Besides sharing the record with Manmohan Singh of hoisting the national flag for 10 consecutive times, Modi will also become an Indian PM to raise the tricolour for third highest time, a record which he will share with his immediate predecessor.
