This Sunday is Diwali and on Monday, Hindus in Harrow and across the UK will spend time with their families and visit their local temple.
Diwali, like Eid, however, is not a national public holiday, so for some it will continue to be difficult to get time off in order to mark this most spiritually significant day.
I am campaigning to ensure there can be a debate in Government time, so that those of us who are sympathetic to the campaign for these two days to be made national public holidays can have our case heard by Ministers.
