Extending her greetings to the nation, Meira Kumar said: “It is an opportunity to celebrate the noble message of Jesus Christ to propagate the eternal virtues of tolerance, harmony and brotherhood.”
She said the festival, besides being a time to “rejoice in the company of family and friends, the spirit of this beautiful festival also allows us to nurture feelings of compassion and charity towards those who stand on the periphery of our spectacular growth”.
