The Governor emphasized the need to strengthen the spirit of brotherhood, foster unity, and stimulate love inspite of diversity, as that’s the only driving force to progress in the country.

He reminded residents to reflect on the enduring spirit of humanity, love, honesty, kindness, and forgiveness that Jesus Christ preached and inculcated as they imbibe the messages and lessons of the scripture.
