As always, the words and actions of the PM never match.
Earlier, the Centre amended the national flag code which stated that the national flag shall be made of hand spun and hand woven or machine made, cotton/ polyester/ wool/ silk khadi bunting. Use of machine-made and polyester flags was prohibited.
Addressing the ‘Khadi Utsav’ programme held on Sabarmati Riverfront on Saturday Modi urged the people to the people to embrace Khadi and gift the products of only Khadi village industries during the coming festive season.
He said once a symbol of self-respect, Khadi or the homespun was treated as an inferior product after Independence.
Modi had said Khadi can become a source of inspiration for achieving the dream of a developed and Atmanirbhar Bharat.
