Independence Day: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses nation from Red Fort

Prime Minister Narendra Modi sported a multi-coloured turban as he gave his sixth Independence Day speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort on Thursday. “Safa” has been a highlight of the PM’s sartorial choices at Independence Day and Republic Day events. Modi donned a half-sleeve white kurta, pyjama and a stole with saffron border along with a multi-coloured turban replete with hues of yellow, red and green with ‘leheriya’ pattern. For his maiden Independence Day address as the prime minister in 2014, Modi had opted for a Jodhpuri bandhej turban in bright red colour with green at the tail.
