Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla greets people on Holi

"Heartfelt greetings to all on the joyous festival of Holi, the celebration of colours, enthusiasm, and mutual harmony. The festival of colours is a vibrant expression of our rich culture, traditions, and brotherhood. Holi reminds us that no matter how many challenges life may bring, the colours of love, faith, and positivity can dispel every darkness. When we apply colours to one another, we break down the walls of discrimination and convey a message of equality and unity. This is the greatest strength of our nation," Om Birla said.
