#RespectNationalFlag trends as patriots appeal to stop insult of national flag

The National Flag is a symbol of the Nation’s respect and pride. There is liberal use of the flag on Independence Day and Republic day. There is a new trend of selling flags made of paper and plastic, which is incorrect. With a sense of national pride, people enthusiastically buy such flags – but the very next day, we find these flags being trampled upon on the roads, in dustbins and elsewhere.

Hindu Janajagruti Samiti and Sanatan Sanstha have jointly undertaken nationally important campaign named ‘Respect our National Flag’ to stop this insult of flag.

As a part of this campaign, Hindu Janajagruti Samiti took to Twitter to create awareness among people with hashtag #RespectNationalFlag. It received very good response from patriots and in the morning on 23 January 2020, this hashtag was in top 10 national trends in Twitter. For some time, trend was at 3rd spot. More than 20,000 tweets were done using this hashtag.

Here are some of the tweets from the trend :
