Tiranga yatras were taken out in different parts of the country under the aegis of the BJP to mark the success of Operation Sindoor carried out by the Indian armed forces in Pakistan and galvanise people against terrorism.
The 11-day long nationwide ' tiranga yatra' was launched after top BJP leaders, including Union ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and J P Nadda, who is also the party's national president, had deliberations on the issue on Sunday.
Nadda held meetings with BJP general secretaries, including Tarun Chugh, Vinod Tawde and Dushyant Gautam, on Monday to finalise the exercise.
BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh said 'tiranga' is not merely a flag but depicts India's soul which is being led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
