The Har Ghar Tiranga campaign's newspaper advertisement omits Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister.

Digital Desk: Veteran Congressman Jairam Ramesh criticized Basavaraj Bommai for leaving out India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, from a newspaper advertisement for the Har Ghar Tiranga campaign.

Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav is running a campaign called "Har Ghar Tiranga" to encourage people to bring the Tricolor home and hoist it in remembrance of India's 75th anniversary of independence. 

Celebrities and commoners alike have gotten involved in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Har Ghar Tiranga" campaign to remember the momentous day by putting the Tricolour as their social media profile picture.


Many well-known people have used the Indian flag in their Instagram and Twitter profile photos to show their support for the nation, including Rajinikanth, Anupam Kher, and Sidharth Malhotra.

The advertisement, which appeared in a Karnataka newspaper, listed a number of liberation fighters but left out Jawaharlal Nehru. The Congress' general secretary, Jairam Ramesh, reacted by accusing the Karnataka chief minister of "insulting" his father, S.R. Bommai, a Nehru supporter.

"Nehru will survive such nonsense." Karnataka's CM, desperate to save his job, is aware that what he has done is an insult to his father, S.R. Bommai, and his father's first political guru, M.N. Roy, both great Nehru admirers, the latter also a friend. "This is (sic) pathetic," Ramesh wrote on Twitter.
