The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee in his message on the eve of Easter has said: -

"On the auspicious occasion of Easter, I convey my greetings and good wishes to all fellow citizens, especially our Christian brothers and sisters.

The sacred day of Easter is a constant reminder of Jesus Christ’s endless love for humanity. As we celebrate Christ’s resurrection, may his teachings inspire each one of us to follow his ideals of love, truth, sacrifice and forgiveness. Let hatred and violence find no place in our thoughts. May the humanism which Jesus Christ stood for always guide our path”.
