He said, “Let us renew our national resolve today to continue our joint efforts for a peaceful, inclusive, and prosperous future, upholding the values of tolerance, empathy, and unity.”

Highlighting the cultural importance of Holi, he said the festival reflects social harmony through vibrant colours and showcases Pakistan’s diversity. He described the Hindu community as a valuable part of society, contributing to social harmony, economic development, and peaceful coexistence.

“The Constitution guarantees religious freedom and human rights for all citizens without discrimination based on colour, race, religion, or belief. The government is the guardian of the constitutional rights of all minorities,” he added.

The prime minister also referred to initiatives such as the Policy for Interfaith Harmony (2025) and the Strategy for Religious Tolerance (2025), aiming to promote tolerance across Pakistan.

Earlier, President Asif Ali Zardari urged the Hindu community to celebrate Holi simply and cautiously due to security concerns on the western border and regional tensions. He emphasized unity and shared responsibility. The Pakistan Hindu Council supported this advice, asking people to avoid large gatherings and cooperate with local authorities.
