New Delhi: On the occasion of the 79th anniversary of India’s independence, a grand program of flag hoisting was organized by RWA Para at Ambedkar Colony (near Nature Bazaar), Chhatarpur, New Delhi-74. The national flag was hoisted by Mr. Naresh Tyagi, husband of Municipal Councillor Mrs. Pinki Tyagi.
The presence of eminent social worker Mr. Anil Tyagi as the chief guest further enhanced the dignity of the event. On this occasion, senior Congress leader Shaukat Chaudhary, Aslam Khan, Usman Mansoori, Gulzar Khan, Irshad Ali, Aslam Alvi, Khursheed Alam Khan, Shri Ram Avatar Sharma, Haji Abdul Wahid, along with people of different faiths and RWA members, attended in large numbers. Together, they conveyed the message that India’s true identity lies in its Ganga-Jamuni culture and unity in diversity.
It is particularly noteworthy that India attained independence on August 15, 1947, which was a Friday (Jumu’ah), and this year too, Independence Day was celebrated on a Friday. On this occasion, the Imam of Parewali Masjid, Maulana Abdul Qayyum, offered special prayers in the mosque for the peace, prosperity, and progress of the nation and paid tribute to the sacrifices of the martyrs.
The program was conducted by RWA President Mohammad Ali, who described it as a symbol of communal harmony and national unity.
This celebration stood as strong evidence that Indian Muslims observe Independence Day with full zeal and patriotism and remain committed to upholding the honor of the tricolor.
