Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday extended his greetings on the occasion of Easter, underscoring the festival’s enduring message of hope, truth and compassion.
In a post shared on X, Kharge said, “Warm greetings on the joyous occasion of Easter! The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a timeless reminder that truth always prevails over falsehood, hope rises above despair, and goodness conquers evil. May this Easter inspire compassion, strengthen bonds of fraternity, and usher in a brighter, more hopeful tomorrow.”
Easter, one of the most significant festivals in Christianity, commemorates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and symbolises renewal, faith and triumph over adversity. The occasion is observed with prayers, church services and community celebrations across the globe.
In India, the festival is celebrated with enthusiasm in regions such as Kerala, Goa, West Bengal and parts of the Northeast, where people participate in special masses and festive gatherings with family and friends. The celebrations reflect the country’s rich cultural diversity and its long-standing tradition of communal harmony.
Kharge’s message comes amid greetings from leaders across the political spectrum, who have emphasised the importance of unity, compassion and mutual respect. His focus on fraternity and hope aligns with broader calls for social harmony and collective well-being in contemporary times.
