He adds that the Shree Hanumant Katha is not just a religious event but a celebration of our collective commitment to fostering unity, peace and mutual respect.

Gavoka adds that Fiji is a nation blessed with a vibrant tapestry of cultures and religions.

He adds that since the arrival of the indentured Girmitiyas in 1874, the Hindu religion, particularly Sanatan Dharma, has been an integral part of the national identity.

The Minister says that the values of tolerance, acceptance, and celebration of diversity have been the cornerstones of our society.
