DK Shivakumar shares Christmas greetings, urging compassion, reflection and renewed commitment to social welfare and inclusive development.

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar on Wednesday conveyed warm Christmas wishes, urging people to embrace the season with compassion, gratitude and thoughtful reflection. He said the spirit of Christmas offers an opportunity to renew collective commitment toward social welfare and inclusive growth.

In his message, Shivakumar highlighted values of love and togetherness, noting that festivals serve as reminders of shared responsibility toward building a just and caring society. He expressed hope that the celebrations would inspire citizens to contribute positively to their communities.Messages from political leaders during festivals often aim to reinforce unity beyond faith and identity. At a time when social divisions frequently dominate public discourse, such greetings can help set a calmer tone and encourage civic responsibility. However, their real impact depends on whether words of harmony are matched by consistent action on the ground.
