Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, on Friday extended Diwali wishes amid tensions with India. “Today, we join millions of people in Canada and around the world to celebrate Diwali,” his statement read.

“Diwali in Canada would not be possible without our incredible Indo-Canadian community,” it further said. While lauding the Indo-Canadians, the PM said that they represent the best of Canada – as artists and entrepreneurs, as doctors and teachers, as leaders in business, community, and culture. “On Diwali, we celebrate them and the light they carry across Canada’s communities,” he further added.

Explaining the significance of the auspicious occasion, Trudeau’s statement read, “Diwali celebrates the triumph of good over evil, of knowledge over ignorance. On this day, families will gather to pray at mandirs, exchange gifts, and take part in festivities across the country. Homes will be lit with candles and diyas. Fireworks will embrace the sky. This is a holiday of hope, and the bright lights of Diwali encourage us all to defeat darkness and find purpose.”

“On behalf of all Canadians, I wish everyone celebrating a very happy Diwali. May the Festival of Lights bring us joy, happiness, and prosperity,” he stated.
