US President Donald Trump ne Tuesday ko White House mein Diwali ka function kiya. Unhonne India ke logon aur Indian-Americans ko Diwali ki badhai di.

Apne speech mein, Trump ne Prime Minister Narendra Modi ki taarif karte hue unhe “great person” aur “great friend” kaha. Unhonne kaha ki US-India ke beech trade aur peace ko lekar strong relationship hai. Trump ne bataya ki unhone aaj hi Modi se baat ki thi: “Humne Pakistan ke saath koi war nahi karne ki baat ki. Ye bahut achi baat hai.”

Trump ne Diwali ke diye ki lighting ka matlab samjhaya. Unhonne kaha ki diya light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, aur good over evil ki jeet ka prateek hai.

Speech ke baad, Trump ne White House mein diye jalaye. Is function mein US government ke kai senior officials, dono countries ke ambassadors, aur successful Indian-American business leaders bhi maujood the. Ye dikhata hai ki Indian diaspora US-India relations mein kitna important role khel raha hai.

White House mein Diwali celebration is baat ka saboot hai ki American society mein is festival ki kya ahmiyat hai. Isi beech, US Congressmen ne Diwali ko officially recognize karne ke liye ek resolution bhi introduce kiya.
