"The line of communal division devastated countless families and wounded the soul of the nation. Deprived of their homes, livelihoods, and memories, millions of families were forced to endure the pain of displacement. This event is not merely a part of history but an eternal anguish etched in our national consciousness," the post read.
A day earlier, ahead of Independence Day, CM Dhami led the Tiranga Yatra from Gandhi Park, Dehradun, with public representatives, thousands of youth, students, women and children holding the tricolour in their hands with the echo of 'Bharat Maa Ki Jaikar, Vande Mataram'.
The CM encouraged the people present, especially the youth. He also launched the 'Har Ghar Tiranga' campaign scheduled to take place from August 13 to 15. The Chief Minister led the Tiranga Yatra amidst the tunes of patriotic songs. The CM greeted the youth and also wished everyone a Happy Independence Day in advance. (ANI)
