I extend my warm greetings to all the members of Hindu community across Pakistan and around the world on the occasion of Diwali.
Diwali, the festival of lights, symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair.As we come together to celebrate, let this occasion inspire us to look toward the future with optimism and unity. As Pakistanis, we cherish our diversity, which strengthens our national fabric and enriches our shared culture.
On this occasion, I pay tribute to the valuable contributions of the vibrant Hindu community in Pakistan, whose role in our socio-economic and political spheres continues to strengthen our nation. The diversity of faiths in Pakistan is a true source of resilience and unity amongst our people.
It gives me immense pleasure to see members of the Hindu and other minority communities working alongside their Muslim brothers and sisters for the progress of our country. Our Father of the Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, envisioned a Pakistan where all communities enjoy equality and freedom regardless of religion, race, or caste.
My government is firmly committed to upholding these values and ensuring that each community in Pakistan enjoys equal rights and opportunities, irrespective of their beliefs.
May this festival of lights bring peace and prosperity to your lives and foster stronger bonds of unity and brotherhood among people of all faiths in our country.
Happy Diwali!
