Calls upon people to use goods made in India
Administers Har Ghar Tiranga Pledge; felicitates family members of freedom
fighters
Union Minister
for Commerce & Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution
and Textile Piyush Goyal today said as we celebrate Har Ghar Tiranga, a campaign
to mark Azadi ka Amrit Mohtsav, let us take a pledge to take the message of
Swadeshi and self reliant India forward and give priority to goods made in
India.
Goyal hoisted the National Flag at Gandhi Darshan,
Rajghat, on the occasion of Har Ghar Tiranga Mahotsav, a campaign to mark Azadi
ka Amrit Mohtsav, being celebrated from 13-15 August 2022. He visited Rashtriya
Swachhta Kendra and watched a digital exhibition chronicling India’s journey to
an open defecation free country, a status achieved by India on 2 October 2019.
During the event, the Minister
also administered the Har Ghar Tiranga Pledge to the gathering. He felicitated
family members of freedom fighters by presenting a shawl to them.
Minister Goyal
said, today it is a moment of immense pride for us that the whole country is
giving the message to the world, of entering the next 25 years of Amrit Kaal by
uniting and hoisting the Tricolour at home.
Paying Tributes to Mahatma Gandhi, Goyal said the way
Gandhiji was instrumental in involving everyone in the Satyagraha in India’s
fight for freedom, similarly Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a campaign
in 2014 to realise Bapu's dream of Swachh Bharat, a glimpse of it was seen in
the Swachhata Museum today, he added.
Goyal said as we are celebrating Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav,
let us take a resolve to take India forward at a faster pace and make this
country a developed and prosperous country in the next 25 years, AmritKaal.
He expressed confidence that nothing can stop India from
becoming a growth engine of the world economy.
Later in the day, Goyal also
visited the Exhibition on Horrors of Partition, set up in Vanijya Bhawan
