Manmohan not to celebrate Holi

New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh will not be celebrating the Holi on Wednesday.

Sources in the Prime Minister's Office said there was no particular reason for the Prime Minister's keeping away from the celebrations. There was also no immediate word from the Congress whether party chief Sonia Gandhi would be celebrating the festival. Dr. Singh and Ms. Gandhi greeted the nation on the eve of Holi.

Ms. Gandhi hoped that the year ahead would bring happiness, peace and prosperity and noted that the festival was an occasion to renew friendship, to forgive and forget the conflict and bitterness of the past. — PTI
