As Fiji celebrates the festival of Deepavali, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Professor Biman Prasad emphasizes the importance of reinforcing truth, justice, and righteousness for the country’s future. In his message, he reflects on the transformation brought about by the Coalition Government formed after the December 2022 elections, highlighting the restoration of fundamental freedoms and rights.

Professor Prasad draws parallels between the lessons from Diwali and the government’s commitment to upholding these freedoms, referencing the example of Lord Ram’s triumph in Ayodhya. He underscores the need for the essence of Diwali to permeate everyday life, promoting a government characterized by honesty, accountability, and transparency for the benefit of all citizens.

Acknowledging the challenges faced by the Coalition Government as it aims to reset Fiji’s moral compass after years of dictatorship, he relates these obstacles to those encountered by Lord Ram. The themes of perseverance and the pursuit of justice resonate strongly in his message, as he notes that the lights of the diyas symbolize hope, peace, and prosperity.

In closing, Professor Prasad reaffirms that the government prioritizes meaningful solutions that elevate people’s lives, echoing Lord Ram’s teachings of selflessness and long-term dedication to progress. He expresses confidence that the present leadership possesses the political will to unite and find consensus-driven solutions for the good of the nation.

As the lights of Diwali shine brightly, they serve not only as a celebration but also as a reminder of the values that can guide Fiji towards a more harmonious and prosperous future. The current atmosphere of unity and commitment can foster hope and rejuvenation in the hearts of the people, paving the way for continued progress.
