The Story in Brief
timesnownews.com reports that Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and state BJP president Dilip Saikia led a Tiranga Yatra in Guwahati on Friday evening. The march began at Jyoti-Bishnu Kala Mandir Antarjatik Auditorium and passed through several city parts, with party workers and supporters carrying the national flag and raising slogans.
Saikia said the yatra aimed to promote unity and reaffirm commitment to the nation. BJP leader Juri Sarma Bordoloi added that the campaign also looked ahead to 2047, when India will complete 100 years of Independence, and described August 14 as a day to remember Partition victims. Similar events are being organised across Assam ahead of Independence Day.
The Indian Opinion
The Tiranga Yatra by Assam BJP leaders frames Independence Day as a party-driven celebration. While promoting unity is welcome, the event’s political messaging, tying patriotism to party symbolism and referencing 2047, blurs the line between national pride and partisan campaign. Partition remembrance is important, but using it selectively can miss the broader human cost. A fairer test: Will the Opposition also lead such marches, or is the tricolour becoming a party monopoly?
