Yogi Adityanath Leads Tiranga Yatra in Lucknow, Salutes Armed Forces and PM Modi for Operation Sindoor
In a stirring display of patriotism and national unity, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath led a massive Tiranga Yatra in Lucknow on Monday. The march aimed to honour the courage of Indian armed forces after they executed Operation Sindoor, a key counter-terror mission in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam region.
Thousands of participants, including students, ex-servicemen, political leaders, and citizens, joined the march. People waved the national flag with pride as they rallied in support of India’s armed forces and against terrorism.
Operation Sindoor: India’s Swift Response to Terror
Following a deadly ambush in Pahalgam that killed several Indian soldiers, Indian forces launched Operation Sindoor to eliminate the attackers. Security personnel acted quickly and tracked down the terrorists involved in the attack.
Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath praised the operation’s success. “This is New India,” he declared. “We don’t stay silent when our soldiers face attacks. Our armed forces respond with strength and determination.”
He emphasized that the country will never forget the sacrifices of its soldiers. “Every drop of blood they shed strengthens our resolve,” he said.
Yogi Slams Pakistan and Terror Sympathizers
Adityanath directly criticized Pakistan for refusing to acknowledge the attack or condemn the terrorists. “Their silence after such brutality shows where they truly stand,” he said. “When our soldiers fall, they look the other way.”
He also called out individuals within India who, in his words, justify or remain silent about terrorism. “Selective outrage weakens our unity,” he stated. “Every Indian must stand up against terrorism, no matter who commits it.”
The crowd responded with loud cheers and slogans supporting the armed forces.
Tricolor March Fills Lucknow’s Streets
The Tiranga Yatra began at Shaheed Smarak and passed through key parts of Lucknow before concluding at Hazratganj. Patriotic songs played in the background as people marched through the city. The streets overflowed with enthusiasm, national pride, and chants like “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram.”
Participants wore tricolor scarves and waved flags. Many painted their faces with the Indian flag and carried placards praising the military and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Photos and videos from the rally quickly spread on social media, reaching audiences across the country.
PM Modi’s Leadership Earns Praise
Yogi Adityanath credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for India’s stronger national security policies. “Under his leadership, India has shown zero tolerance for terrorism,” he said. “From surgical strikes to Balakot, and now Operation Sindoor — we have acted decisively.”
He noted how India’s global image has changed. “The world no longer sees us as a soft target. Nations now respect India’s power and resolve.”
Citizens Speak: Why They Joined the Yatra
Several participants shared their reasons for joining the rally. A retired army officer said, “I walked today for my brothers in uniform. This march honors their service and sacrifice.”
College students came in large groups, many of them wrapped in the tricolor. “We’re here to show our respect for the armed forces,” said one student. “This march is about unity and strength.”
Parents brought their children to the event, saying it was important to teach them the value of patriotism and respect for the country.
National Sentiment Grows Stronger
The Tiranga Yatra wasn’t just a regional event; it echoed a broader national sentiment. People across India shared images of the rally, using hashtags like #TirangaYatra, #OperationSindoor, and #SaluteToForces. The online response amplified the message of solidarity.
Many political observers noted that public support for the armed forces helps reinforce morale and national unity. “Such rallies show that the people and the forces stand together,” said one political analyst.
Conclusion: A Clear and Firm Message
The Tiranga Yatra led by Yogi Adityanath sent a strong message: India refuses to tolerate terrorism, honors its brave soldiers, and trusts its leadership. By standing behind the armed forces and calling out the silence of hostile nations, the people of Uttar Pradesh—and the nation at large—spoke with one voice.
As the rally ended with the national anthem playing and the tricolor soaring above the crowd, the spirit of India felt stronger than ever. With courage, unity, and determination, the country continues to march forward, ready to protect its peace and sovereignty at any cost.
