Describing Vijayadashami as a symbol of the victory of good over evil, he expressed hope that the spirit of the festival would strengthen brotherhood and mutual understanding in society.

He said that friendly relations between the people of both states should continue and called for collective progress without regional divisions.

He stressed the need to create public awareness about these goals and encouraged everyone to contribute to society’s progress. He called upon people to uphold the principle of unity in diversity, share mutual respect and affection, and work together to build a harmonious and progressive society.
