XKolkata: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday greeted people on Diwali and urged people to uphold unity and communal harmony across the country.

“Wishing everyone a very Happy Diwali! May the light of diyas and the spirit of this festival bring happiness, peace, and prosperity to all, and inspire unity and harmony in our communities,” Banerjee said in a social media post on Monday morning.

Like every year, she performed Kali Puja at her Kalighat residence, a tradition she has followed for a long time. Banerjee cooked ‘bhog’ and took part in rituals, clad in a cotton saree. Her party’s national general secretary, Abhishek Banerjee, attended the puja and participated in a ‘yagna’. Party leaders, MPs, MLAs, ministers, bureaucrats, industrialists, and artistes attended the puja.
