ADVANI NOT TO PLAY HOLI

    The Home Minister, Shri L.K. Advani has decided not to celebrate Holi this year in view of the Gujarat violence in which many people lost their lives. Shri Advani expressed the hope that the Festival would bring Peace, Prosperity and Happiness to the people and promote Communal Harmony.

    The Home Minister did not play Holi last year also following the devastating earthquake that hit many areas of Gujarat.
