A Tiranga Yatra was organised in Puri on Monday to honour the bravery and sacrifices of the Indian Army during Operation Sindoor. On this occasion, Odisha's Deputy CM Pravati Parida and BJP MP Sambit Patra participated in the rally, which was held in the holy Jagannath Dham.

Speaking to ANI, from the Tiranga Yatra, BJP MP Sambit Patra praised the Indian Army's indomitable courage and credited the Modi government.

Patra said, "Today we are taking out a Tiranga Yatra in the holy Jagannath Dham of Mahaprabhu. We salute the Indian Army for the way they have shown indomitable courage, entered Pakistan and destroyed 9 terrorist hideouts, and the kind of political will the Prime Minister Modi's government has shown..."

Earlier in the day, a Tiranga Yatra was organised in the Pangi area of Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh.

Locals marched at an altitude of 13,570 ft above sea level to honour the valour of the Indian Armed Forces. They held tri-coloured flags and chanted slogans such as "Bharat Mata Ki Jai!" (Victory to Bharat Mata!)".

Similar Tiranga Yatras, launched by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on May 13, are being held nationwide. The yatra will continue till May 23, and it aims to honour the bravery of Indian soldiers and inform citizens about Operation Sindoor's recent success.

While speaking about the yatra, Khandelwal said, " The way our three Armed Forces fought with bravery and valour destroyed the Pakistan Army, we are taking out this yatra in their honour. By taking part in this yatra, the public is saluting and expressing its gratitude towards the Indian Armed Forces."

"A large number of people participated in this Yatra, which shows their support for the armed forces and PM Modi," he added.

Proud moment for every Indian! 🇮🇳 The Tiranga Yatra across the country shows our unity and respect for our brave soldiers. Operation Sindoor was a strong message to our neighbors that India won't tolerate terrorism. Jai Hind!

While I appreciate honoring our soldiers, I hope such events remain apolitical. The armed forces' bravery belongs to the nation, not any particular party. Would love to see more focus on welfare schemes for veterans' families.

Seeing the yatra in Puri's sacred Jagannath Dham gives me goosebumps! Our soldiers are modern-day warriors protecting dharma. The Himachal march at 13,570 ft shows true dedication - these are real patriots, not keyboard warriors!

As an Odia, I'm proud Deputy CM Parida joined the Puri yatra. But let's not forget the daily struggles of soldiers' families. Flag marches are good, but we need sustainable support systems for our armed forces throughout the year.

The enthusiasm across states is amazing! But I hope such events translate into better border infrastructure and modern equipment for our jawans. Pakistan may have got the message, but China is the bigger challenge we must prepare for.

Beautiful to see the tricolor in Puri! 🙏 We Odias have always had deep respect for our protectors. The combination of spiritual sanctity and patriotism at Jagannath Dham is truly special. Let's make such yatras about national unity beyond politics.
