Posted On: 03 MAR 2026 4:44PM by PIB Delhi Lok Sabha Speaker, Shri Om Birla, has extended greetings to the people on the eve of Holi. In his message, Shri Birla said: "Heartfelt greetings to all on the joyous festival of Holi, the celebration of colours, enthusiasm, and mutual harmony. The festival of colours is a vibrant expression of our rich culture, traditions, and brotherhood. Holi reminds us that no matter how many challenges life may bring, the colours of love, faith, and positivity can dispel every darkness. When we apply colours to one another, we break down the walls of discrimination and convey a message of equality and unity. This is the greatest strength of our nation. Our country is full of diversity, yet the celebration of Holi binds us together in a thread of unity and brotherhood. On this Holi, let us pledge to fill our society with the colours of love, peace, and harmony, and to share the joy of the festival with those who may be alone or in need. Once again, heartfelt wishes to all on Holi. May your life always be filled with vibrant colours of happiness, and may our nation continue to shine with the colours of love, progress, and unity." *** AM (Release ID: 2235027) Visitor Counter : 523 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी , Bengali , Bengali-TR , Tamil , Kannada Lok Sabha Secretariat LOK SABHA SPEAKER GREETS THE PEOPLE ON THE EVE OF HOLI Posted On: 03 MAR 2026 4:44PM by PIB Delhi Lok Sabha Speaker, Shri Om Birla, has extended greetings to the people on the eve of Holi.
