PM Modi stands firm for 7th consecutive year on Red Fort

August 13, 2020
PM Modi stands firm for 7th consecutive year on Red Fort

Red Fort, the symbol of the national democratic front of India, is going to host Prime Minister Modi on 15th August 2020 for the 74th Independence Day for making the ground-breaking record. He will hoist the tricolour for the 7th time in a row.

With this, he will only become the fourth person to do it. Indian Prime Minister who held the most record for hoisting tricolour is Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, followed by Indira Gandhi and Manmohan Singh respectively. 

Almost every Prime Minister in Indian democratic history has got the honorary opportunity to unfurl the Indian flag on Independence Day except two.

Chandra Shekhar Singh and Guljari Lal Nanda were the only two Prime ministers who couldn’t hoist the national flag. Narendra Modi will leave behind Atal Bihari Vajpayee with his 7th presence on 15th August 2020. 

After May 2013 and by the end of his second term, PM Modi will join Manmohan Singh jointly at third with ten hoistings. Pandit Nehru who proudly announced India’s freedom from the Red Fort on 15th August 1947 has continuously done it for 17 times. After his demise, Guljari Lal Nanda held the PM post for just 15 days, but he never got the opportunity. 

The untimely death of Lal Bahadur Shastri has only allowed him to hoist twice during his tenure between June 1964 and July 1966. Gulzarilal Nanda again became the acting prime minister for 15 days but still couldn’t get the opportunity. 

India’s first woman Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has hoisted the national flag for continuously 11th times in a row through her impactful rule from January 1966 to March 1977.

After the Emergency when the Indian Democratic army rejected Indira Gandhi, she made a comeback in January 1980 to the top executive chair of the country. Before her assassination, she became only the second person behind her father to hoist the national flag for sixteen times. Rajiv Gandhi between 1984 to 1989 got this honour five times. 

Red Fort history had seen an interesting turnaround in December 1989, when Vishwanath Pratap became the prime minister for the first non-congress government. But after November 1990, his government fell, and he hoisted the flag only once.

Chandrashekhar, who became India’s Prime Minister after congress’s support for seven months was too deprived of the opportunity to hoist the flag at red fort.

But Narasimha Rao who was India’s Prime Minister from June 1991 & May 1966 has been on the Red Fort for five times, sharing the number with Rajiv Gandhi. 

After the 1996 National election, Atal Bihari Vajpayee did become the Prime Minister for 13 days. Still, he got his first honorary opportunity to hoist the flag only in March 1998 during his 13 months of government.

After the 1999 election, he returned to the chair and between March 1998 and May 2004, he stands fifth on the boards of 15th August presence on Red Fort. 

Before it, during June 1996 and March 1998, two prime ministers H. D. Deve Gowda and Inder Kumar Gujral too unfurled the precious Indian flag once.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
