“We are faced with an unprecedented crisis in the form of COVID-19 pandemic. On this auspicious festival of Buddha Purnima, I pray that through our solidarity and collective resolve, may we emerge successfully from this pandemic and continue to move steadfastly towards the well-being of people at large,” he said.
In his message on the eve of Buddha Purnima, Kovind said the teachings of Lord Buddha lead us to the path of freedom from suffering and misery.
