Diwali is a time to let go of the past and forgive each other.

Indian High Commissioner to Fiji Vishvas Sapkal says it is also a good time to reflect on our lives and make necessary changes.

He has extended a warm Diwali greetings to all Fijians.

“As we say that the light of Diwali is basically a symbol of sun which is a source of energy. That should remove all the darkness, evil amongst us as well as outside in the environment.”

Sapkal says the religious festival is celebrated by all races in Fiji showing our bio-diversity.

He says this also links the strong ties Fiji has with India as well.
