New Delhi, May 15: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is holding a nationwide Tiranga Yatra to commemorate the triumph of Operation Sindoor and to salute the unmatched valour and courage of the Indian armed forces.

Announced on May 13, this 11-day-long patriotic campaign aims to honour the Indian Army, Air Force, Navy, and the Border Security Forces for their successful strike on high-value terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

In Delhi, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, her Cabinet colleagues, BJP MLAs and senior party leaders joined the yatra, calling it a moment of national pride and unity.

Echoing similar sentiments, the people of Jammu and Kashmir witnessed a vibrant Tiranga Yatra in Srinagar.

The rally, filled with patriotic fervour and slogans of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai', began at Shaheed-e-Kashmir Park and moved towards the Clock Tower at Lal Chowk, with widespread participation from citizens and party workers.

In Kathua, the event sparked enthusiastic chants of "Indian Army Zindabad" and "Vande Mataram" among the locals.
