Indian-American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has announced his intention to present a Diwali resolution in the US House of Representatives, acknowledging the festival of lights. He emphasized that for Sikhs, Jains, and Hindus worldwide and in the United States, Diwali symbolizes gratitude and the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.
Diwali holds significant cultural and religious importance for millions of Americans of Indian descent and countless others worldwide. This year, the festival is scheduled for November 12, providing an opportunity for people to come together, light lamps, and pray for good health and peace.
Krishnamoorthi is reintroducing a bipartisan resolution to honor the religious, cultural, and historical importance of Diwali. He hopes for the bipartisan support of his colleagues in extending warm Diwali wishes to families celebrating this festival.
In addition, Krishnamoorthi has released a draft of the proposed Diwali resolution, highlighting the recognition and appreciation of religious diversity in both India and the United States. The resolution also underscores the collaborative and respectful relationship between the two countries.
