community in America has welcomed President Barack Obama's message of
Diwali greetings praising their resilience in the wake of the August
shooting at Oak Creek gurdwara in Wisconsin.

"This inspirational
message reflects President Obama's compassionate heart and his
commitment to create a harmonious society in America where all are
respected and each faith is honoured," said Rajwant Singh, chairman of
the Washington based Sikh Council on Religion and Education (SCORE).
"Recognizing Diwali, which
is sacred to almost all faiths originating from Indian subcontinent,
sends a message that America provides an opportunity for each faith to
flourish and all faiths can truly enjoy the religious freedom," he said.
"We are confident America
will continue towards 'perfect union' as envisaged by the US
constitution under the able leadership of President Obama for another
four years," Rajwant Singh said.
The community leader said the Sikh community prayed for Obama "and his family as he leads a difficult road of bringing political leadership together to face the challenge of financial solvency of this country".
