โAhead of Independence Day, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Friday changed profile pictures of its social media accounts to the national flag from its traditional saffron flag. As the country is celebrating the โAzadi Ka Amrit Mahotsavโ to mark 75 years of Indiaโs independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had urged people to put the โTirangaโ as the profile picture of their social media accounts between August 2 and 15. The RSS, the political fountainhead of the ruling BJP, has been criticised by the Congress and other Opposition over its stand on the national flag. In an obvious reference to the RSS, Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh asked earlier this month if the organisation that did not hoist the national flag at its headquarters in Nagpur for 52 years would comply with the prime ministerโs message to make the โtirangaโ the profile picture of social media accounts. On Friday, RSS publicity department co-incharge Narender Thakur said the Sangh has been celebrating Independence Day at all its offices by hoisting the national flag.
