Dr. Harsh Vardhan leads 'Tiranga Yatra' in north Delhi

Union minister Harsh Vardhan today led a 'Tiranga Yatra' in north Delhi to spread the spirit of nationalism among people.

Carrying the national tricolour and chanting patriotic slogan, scores of BJP workers followed Vardhan as he moved from Model Town to Adarsh Nagar and Jahangirpuri. The yatra ended at Pitampura.

"The minister exhorted people to do something in the name of the country and more than enjoying rights we should try to fulfil our duties," the Delhi BJP said in a statement.

Several other BJP leaders, including North Delhi Mayor Sanjeev Nayyar, accompanied Vardhan during the journey.

'Tiranga Yatra' has been conceived by BJP as part of the programme to imbibe a spirit of nationalism and spread awareness about the contribution of freedom fighters, marking 70th year of Independence.
