ABP Live reports that the BJP's Srinagar unit organised a Tiranga rally on Dal Lake ahead of Independence Day. Party workers waved the national flag from shikara boats as part of the event.
The rally comes with an appeal to citizens to celebrate August 15 with 'aan, baan, shaan' and take a 'Viksit Bharat' pledge. The message urges people to display the Tricolour under the slogan 'Har Ghar Tiranga, Ghar Ghar Tiranga, Har Man Tiranga' and remember the sacrifices of freedom fighters.
Some will dismiss this as a political stunt in a region where the BJP has little electoral support. Others will hail it as a genuine expression of patriotism. But neither narrative captures the nuance: local participation in such events often reflects a mix of pride and pragmatism. The real test is whether the same flag flies at government schools and panchayat offices on August 15, not just on a photo-op shikara.
