The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, along with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, changed their display picture on social media accounts with the tricolour to mark their support to the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The RSS top brass maintained that the change was part of their “strategy” for the 75th anniversary of Independence and has nothing to do with criticism from Opposition parties that had pointed out that the RSS had not hoisted the tricolour in its Nagpur headquarters for several decades.
Apart from changing their display pictures, Mr. Bhagwat met District Magistrate of Nagpur R. Vimala, who presented the national flag to him on Saturday. The flag was hoisted in the RSS headquarters in an event where senior functionaries, including Ram Harkare and Rajesh Loya, were present.
