CM Bhagwant Mann on Wednesday extended his warm wishes to all the Punjabis living across the globe on the sacred occasion of the festival of lights- Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas.

In his message, the CM said that since centuries Diwali- a festival of love and prosperity has been celebrated by us with utmost devotion and full religious zeal. He said that the sparkling lights of Diwali not only illuminate every household but it was also a symbol of the victory of light over darkness, good over evil and hope over despair

Likewise, the CM also greeted the entire countrymen especially the Sikh Panth on the historic 'Bandi Chhor Diwas'- to mark the release of 52 Hindu Princes from the Gwalior fort by Sixth Guru Sri Hargobind Sahib ji on the Diwali festival in year1612. He also appealed to the people to celebrate Diwali and Bandi Chhor Diwas with traditional fervor and gaiety rising above the parochial considerations of caste, color, creed and religion thereby cementing the bonds of harmony, amity and goodwill.
