Symbol of love, trust and faith: Priyanka Gandhi extends wishes on Raksha Bandhan
"Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all of you on the festival of Raksha Bandhan, a symbol of love, trust, and faith between brothers and sisters. – Priyanka Gandhi"

New Delhi, Aug 9

As the country celebrated the joyous festival of Raksha Bandhan, Congress leaders including senior Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and party chief Mallikarjun Kharge extended heartfelt greetings, highlighting the cultural and emotional significance of the festival that honours the bond between brothers and sisters.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took to X to share her warm wishes on Raksha Bandhan, saying: "Heartfelt congratulations and best wishes to all of you on the festival of Raksha Bandhan, a symbol of love, trust, and faith between brothers and sisters. May this sacred festival bring abundant joy to everyone’s lives."

Her message captured the essence of Raksha Bandhan, a festival that transcends rituals and is deeply rooted in the values of familial affection, mutual care, and emotional bonding.

Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi also posted on X, joining his sister Priyanka Gandhi in extending wishes to the nation.

"Heartfelt greetings to all countrymen on Raksha Bandhan. I hope the bond of love and affection between brothers and sisters continues to deepen," he posted.

Meanwhile, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge offered a broader reflection on the significance of the day, highlighting its cultural and social relevance.

"Heartfelt wishes to all on the festival of Raksha Bandhan, the celebration of the unbreakable love, trust, and affection between sisters and brothers. This unique festival of Raksha Bandhan rises above caste, religion, and sect, promoting mutual brotherhood and unity. It also highlights the equality and respect for women in Indian society. May this festival of Rakhi strengthen the spirit of mutual love, harmony, and cordiality in all our lives."

Raksha Bandhan, observed on Shravan Poornima, continues to be a cherished festival across India.

Traditionally, sisters tie a sacred thread, or 'rakhi', around their brothers' wrists, symbolising love and a lifelong promise of protection. In return, brothers offer gifts and a vow of care.

While I appreciate the sentiments, I wish politicians would focus more on actual women's safety issues rather than just symbolic festivals. Rakhi is beautiful, but sisters need real protection every day.

As an expat in Delhi, I love learning about Indian festivals. My colleagues explained Rakhi to me and even included me in their celebrations. Such a beautiful tradition of sibling love!

The Gandhis always know how to connect with common people through cultural touchpoints. But actions speak louder than words - hope they work more for women's empowerment beyond festival greetings.
