Referring to the second wave of the viral outbreak in Europe, the Youth Ambassador-IYS, Member of International Human Rights Commission Fahar Baba, warned against complacency. “Corona warriors are working hard to protect us from the pandemic and we shouldn’t burden them.
In his message, the Youth Ambassador said India is known for a myriad of festivals and Diwali is one of the most popular one. “Diwali or Deepavali also known as the festival of lights, and is the biggest festival celebrated around the world. People from all walks of life decorate their homes with “diyas”, earthenware oil lamps and candles. It is a five-day festival, celebrated to commemorate the return of Shri Ram, the lord of virtue, to his kingdom after 14 years of exile,” he said.
Diwali is a festival which gives a significant message of evil being defeated by the good, in the same way we must try to eradicate the evils like jealousy, corruption, racism, violence etc from the society and create a positive atmosphere of amity, brotherhood, and mutual understanding which will strengthen the society and the country as whole” he added.
May this special occasion further the spirit of compassion, brotherhood, and harmony. May everyone be healthy and prosperous.”
However, this year, the occasion is being observed across the country keeping in mind appropriate social distancing norms and other necessary protocols owing to the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). We have to follow the protocol of wearing masks, washing hands and physical distancing,” he said, urging people to consider the health of senior citizens.
