NewDelhi: The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Friday replaced its traditional saffron flag with the tricolor picture on the profile pictures of its social media accounts, ahead of the Independence Day. The country is celebrating the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’ on the occasion of 75 years of independence. In such a situation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged people to put the tricolor on their ‘profile’ picture on their social media accounts. The Congress and other opposition parties have been criticizing the national flag for its stance towards the Sangh.
Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh, in a clear reference to the Sangh, had earlier this month questioned whether the organization, which has not hoisted the national flag at its headquarters in Nagpur for 52 years, would respond to the Prime Minister’s request to put the tricolor on the profile picture of its social media accounts. .
