Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari wished on Sunday all those celebrating the festival of Holi.

The former foreign minister stressed the imperative need for societal cohesion, advocating for mutual understanding and solidarity among Pakistan’s diverse populace.
He highlighted the inherent values of tolerance and acceptance encapsulated by Holi, asserting that such celebrations foster inclusivity within the nation.
Echoing the sentiments of the nation’s revered leaders, he stated, “We seek guidance from the thoughts of Quaid-e-Azam, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto.”
“The unwavering commitment of our leaders to support the rights of every citizen without discrimination is a beacon for us,” Bilawal added.
Holi, a vibrant Hindu festival of colors, is joyously celebrated by Hindu minority communities throughout Pakistan, symbolizing the arrival of spring and fostering a sense of unity and joy through spirited displays of colored powders and water.
On March 18, a prominent MNA and patron-in-chief of the Pakistan Hindu Council, Dr Ramesh Kumar Vankwani requested PM Shehbaz and provincial chief ministers to timely announce advance salaries and public holidays for Hindu employees on the occasion of the Holi festival.
