Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Saturday greeted people on Diwali and hoped that the festival of lights would usher in a renewed resolve in everyone to traverse the distance from "darkness to light", "despair to hope" and "tyranny to compassion".
"Lighting the Lamp is a chance to remember, even in the midst of darkness, that light will ultimately prevail."
"Let the festival of lights usher a renewed resolve in each one of us to traverse the distance from darkness to light, despair to hope & tyranny to compassion," said Gandhi in a statement.
Remembering those who are less fortunate, Gandhi urged everyone to do their bit to bring light into the lives of others.
