Deepavali message of Opposition Leader

What we must do on this Diwali day is to conquer evil and usher in the dawn of goodness. What we should spread as light in society are good deeds, not symbols of evil. The true message of Diwali is to bring triumphant goodness into our communities. During this celebration, our greatest enthusiasm should be in dedicating ourselves to the mission of awakening the light that leads society from falsehood to truth and from ignorance to knowledge, so that a virtuous and enlightened society may prevail.

World Teachers Day

We must never forget the divine role of teachers, the foundational pillars of a good society, who dedicate themselves far beyond a six-hour duty shift. We should not act in ways that undermine the rights of those who sincerely strive to create a better future for their students. Therefore, let us all, as a society and as policymakers, commit ourselves to building a strong and respected teaching service where the rights of teachers are fully protected.

Protecting and caring for both children and adults, while properly fulfilling the responsibilities and duties that society owes them, is the obligation of all who aspire to ensure the lasting prosperity of a country.
