Prime Minister Narendra Modi extends Diwali greetings to people across India, wishing citizens happiness, well-being and prosperity. In a post on X, he addresses his wishes to “family members across the country” and links the festival of lights to the idea of a pledge against darkness. He also reiterates an annual approach to celebrating the day, including time with defence personnel.
Other major outlets note similar messages from senior leaders. NDTV reports that President Droupadi Murmu, Omar Abdullah and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also offer Diwali wishes, framing the festival around themes of unity and the triumph of good over evil. Across coverage, the shared emphasis is on the public sharing of greetings through social media and the broadly observed traditions of Diwali, including lighting homes and streets with diyas and decorations.
While sources align on the basic fact of leaders’ greetings and the festive context, they differ in how much detail they include about Modi’s specific activities and how they describe the message—ranging from well-being and prosperity to unity and moral symbolism.
