Deepavali is a fitting occasion to redouble efforts for peace and harmony in the country, says President Mahinda Rajapaksa in his Deepavali Message to all Sri Lankan Hindus.
Here is the text of the President’s Deepavali Message
“I am pleased to send greetings to all Sri Lankan Hindus on the occasion of Deepavali. Called the ‘Festival of Lights’, Deepavali symbolises the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance.
The Deepavali Festival, being a unifying force that spreads understanding, tolerance and harmony among all peoples irrespective of ethnic, religious, caste or class differences is a fitting occasion for us to redouble our efforts to bring about greater understanding among our people, and restore peace and harmony in the country.
May the light of goodwill and peace dispel the darkness of terror and illuminate our land. “
I wish a happy Deepavali to all Hindu devotees.”
