Diwali is a vibrant celebration in Fiji which shows our nation being multi-racial that harmoniously co-exist despite our religion, race, class, caste, creed, or colour.

Local Government Minister Maciu Nalumisa made these comments as he joined the market vendors in Ba this morning in celebrating festivities building up to Diwali.

He says Diwali as we all know as the festival of lights, celebrating triumph of good over evil, light over darkness and here in our own country, we celebrate diversity.
