The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) distributed sweets and firecrackers to children in slum areas of Delhi on the occasion of Diwali.
Surendra Gupta, General secretary, VHP Delhi, said the initiative began at the Asdhoka Sewa Basti in East of Kailash and will be carried out at multiple locations across the national capital.
“We are distributing sweets to the children at Ashoka Sewa Basti…VHP is celebrating Diwali at the Sewa Bastis at various locations in Delhi…” Gupta said.
The Diwali campaign was initiated in the presence of affluent members of the society, such as Rajendra Sharda, to celebrate the festival with the poorer sections of the society and bring happiness to them. The VHP set a large counter with dozens of boxes of sweets and firecrackers to distribute amongst children.
