The Story in Brief
The BJP's Srinagar unit held a Tiranga rally on Dal Lake ahead of Independence Day, with Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant-Governor Manoj Sinha leading the yatra on August 12, 2026. Hundreds of locals attended, according to The Hindu. Sinha said the rally sends a clear message that India must always move forward. The event is part of the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign launched in 2022.
All 20 districts in J&K also organised rallies. The campaign urges citizens to take a 'Viksit Bharat' pledge and celebrate August 15 with 'aan, baan, shaan'. The BJP's appeal also calls for paying tribute to freedom fighters under the slogan 'Har Ghar Tiranga, Ghar Ghar Tiranga, Har Man Tiranga'.
The Indian Opinion
The usual critics will call this a spectacle, and the usual cheerleaders will call it a mass awakening. Both miss the point. A flag rally on Dal Lake is not a referendum on patriotism. The real test is not how many show up with a tricolour, but how many turn out to vote in the next J&K assembly election, and whether the boycott culture that shadowed past polls has truly faded.
