The Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari
Vajpayee has greeted the people on the auspicious occasion of
Onam.
Following is the text of the
PM’s message for Onam.
"I extend
my heartiest wishes to the countrymen particularly to my Malayalee
brothers and sisters all over the world, on the auspicious occasion
of Onam. Being a harvest festival, Onam brings with it splashes
of colour. This year Onam has a special significance as after
a gap of couple of years rain God has been generous all over the
country and is bringing prosperity, joy and happiness. Farmers
are rejoicing and the economy is in an upbeat mood. As we begin
to harvest the well-earned fruits of our labour, we see the vision
of a strong and self-sufficient India. Our farmers are key partners
in the realisation of this vision.
The people of
Kerala have shown tremendous entreprenureship and determination
for hard work. They have made a mark wherever they are and have
earned recognition in all walks of life all over the world.
May the Onam
further strengthen our resolve to work for the common good".
