Manmohan Singh became the third Indian prime minister to hoist the National Flag seven or more times at the 17th century Red Fort on the country"s 64th Independence Day. The tradition was started by the country"s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who unfurled the Indian tri-colour at this historic fort in the old quarters of the national capital as many as 17 times -- from 1947 to 1964.
