Sonia greets people on Diwali

Making a strong appeal for "communal harmony", Congress president Sonia Gandhi today greeted people on the occasion of Diwali.

"May this festival renew and strengthen the bonds of family, community and friendship and may each diya we light be a prayer for communal harmony and fraternal relations between people of different regions and faiths of our country," Gandhi said in her greetings.

She said that may the festival of lights bring in peace, prosperity and progress all around.
