Mauritian President Dharam Gokhool called for peace and social harmony at the Divali Mahotsav 2026, held on Friday in Phoenix by the Mauritius Sanathan Dharma Temples Federation. He said these values had to be defended by everyone, according to Defimedia.
Referring to the unrest that recently shook Mauritius, the head of state said the events had tested solidarity and social cohesion. He praised those who had prioritised dialogue and called for calm, according to Defimedia.
Bhojraj Ghoorbin, president of the Mauritius Sanathan Dharma Temples Federation, made the same appeal to the different communities. “Never again!” he said about the recent tensions in the country, according to Defimedia.
The message comes after the 28 questions to the prime minister about the social unrest, published on 20 October, and as Mauritian courts have convicted 12 men of violating the curfew, according to an article published on 30 October on these convictions.
