Guwahati, May 15: Assam BJP president Dilip Sakia on Wednesday joined the Tiranga Yatra in Guwahati to honour the Indian armed forces for their role in ‘Operation Sindoor,’ launched in response to the recent terror attack in Pahalgam.
Speaking to reporters during the event, Sakia stated, “Pakistan has nurtured terrorism. All three forces displayed immense courage as they targeted terror camps in Pakistan. To honour them, the Citizens’ Forum has organised this Tiranga Yatra, which began from Guwahati.”
He further added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the armed forces were given full freedom to act against terrorism. “India has done the right thing by carrying out a surgical strike. The global community has supported India’s response to Pahalgam,” he said.
The nationwide Tiranga Yatra, launched by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on May 14, aims to honour the armed forces and highlight the success of Operation Sindoor. The campaign is being conducted across several states including Delhi, Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Goa, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat.
In Delhi, the yatra began at Kartavya Path and will conclude at the National War Memorial. The march featured a 108-foot national flag and saw participation from BJP leaders, workers, citizens, NGOs, and social organisations. The campaign will continue until May 23.
