Today is the first day of Diwali, the Hindu, Jain, Sikh and Buddhist “Festival of Lights.” During Diwali, families and friends come together to light oil lamps called diyas which represent the triumph of good over evil.pic.twitter.com/fhEZxnTNHV

Anna, this is the first time in my life I'm hearing about Diwali being a festival of Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists. I understand you want to get their votes, but this is like saying Hanukkah is a festival of Catholics. There should be a limit to such vote pandering.

Thank you for your wishes. We wish you the same. We will celebrate our most meaningful Diwali once our American citizen children held illegally in India are v returned to USA - the return of light to our lives, the victory over evil. We look forward to your help

We appreciate your sentiments. However, please know that I am an unfortunate parent whose son has been abducted to India and illegally retained there since 2014. There is no Diwali for me. Please see Senate Judiciary Committee letter to Secy Pompeo regarding this. Can CAPAC help?pic.twitter.com/sCcHQWGOxH
