The Narendra Modi government is all set to launch a ‘Tricolour anthem’ for the men and women who protect India’s borders on the 70th anniversary of independence, as part of special celebrations being held across the country.
According to sources, people across the country can assemble at specified locations and write messages for the brave souls in uniform guarding Indian borders.
Government ministers will then travel to the far-flung borders and carry those messages to soldiers.
Union Textile minister Smriti Irani is spearheading the initiative, and her ministry is organising camps in 70 cities, where people can come and write messages for the forces.
“It is colours of independence celebrations. It is a celebration where the country comes together to honour the sacrifices made for independence and to thank those who are protecting it,” sources said.
Irani is also expected to travel to the highest, coldest and costliest battlefield, Siachen, carrying the messages of a grateful nation for soldiers after Independence Day, sources in the ministry of defence told Mail Today.
Smriti Irani is likely to be the first woman union minister to visit the Siachen glacier since the army launched operation Meghdoot in April 1984.
“In all, there are 70 camps being organised in places where the Textile ministry has its centres. The members of parliament (MPs) of those areas – irrespective of their political party are being invited to participate in the independence day festivities and message writing events,” sources said.
Then female government ministers will carry these messages to the soldiers on Raksha Bandhan.
This is not restricted just to the armed forces, but to all men and women who defend India’s independence whereever they may be deployed, and whatever their task may be.
These messages will be recorded on khadi – a cloth 8 feet by 7 feet will be put on a stage, and people can write their messages in the colours of independence.
