Diwali Celebrations Marred by Controversy Over Congress Leader's Greetings

Diwali was celebrated across the country on Sunday. President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other dignitaries also greeted the people of the country on Diwali. However, there is a controversy over Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge's greetings on this occasion of Diwali. Mallikarjun Kharge said that it is an Eid of happiness. Now the BJP has targeted Kharge and the Congress party on this issue and his statement has been called anti-national. On the occasion of Diwali, Mallikarjun Kharge said - "I wish everyone a very happy Diwali. This is a big festival in our India and there is only one reason why it is an Eid of happiness. This is a long-lasting Eid. This is a good festival for the people to live in peace and meet their people. I wish all the people of our country."
