Minister for Employment Parveen Bala says we are so blessed that we celebrate our religious festivals together as one people and live in a land where we are free to worship.

While speaking during the Ba Diwali Celebrations, Bala says it is a time for families and communities to unite.

He says this is the time for us to remember the less fortunate ones and bring light in their lives.

The Minister adds that we need to be kind to others and choose the right path.

He told the people present at the celebrations that they should give equal respect to all religions.
