Karachi - Chairman of the Pakistan Peoples Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, has extended his heartfelt greetings and wishes to Pakistan's Hindu community and those celebrating Diwali globally.

He stressed that the joys and sorrows of all citizens are shared, regardless of religion. Under Pakistan's constitution, he stated, non-Muslim citizens are granted equal rights and opportunities.
