President Pranab Mukherjee Sunday greeted the nation on the occasion of Easter and wished that the festival would inspire people to "follow the path of love, truth, sacrifice and forgiveness".
"On the joyous occasion of Easter, I extend my greetings and best wishes to my countrymen, especially to all my Christian brothers and sisters in India and abroad," Mukherjee said in a message.
"May the celebration of Christ's resurrection be an occasion that inspires us to follow the path of love, truth, sacrifice and forgiveness. Let us learn from the teachings of Jesus Christ and work together to advance the common good of all," he added.
"May this festival instil in us a sense of feeling of unity and reinforce our commitment to the well-being and prosperity of our nation."
