PM Tony Blair's message about ISKCON Ratha yatra

[Guest guest]

This was the message from the British Prime Minister which was read out at

the recent London Ratha Yatra:-

 

 

"I am glad to have this opportunity to convey my support for the 36th annual

Ratha Yatra Festival and to signal the Government's strong commitment to

diversity and the contribution it can make to Britain today. We are

determined to see the kind of dynamic society in which people from different

ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds can truly celebrate what we have

in common as well as retaining and being proud of our distinctive

identities.

 

I very much welcome events such as this, which will help us all to celebrate

the values and benefits of diversity whilst developing a greater sense of

shared values. This festival sees different communities coming together, but

also shows the positive expression of belief that is characetristic of the

Krishna consciousness movement and of British Hindus more widely."
