Washington/IBNS: US President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris last night (Saturday in the US) wished Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists on the occasion of Diwali.

"To the millions of Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and Buddhists celebrating the Festival of Lights, @DrBiden and I send our best wishes for a #HappyDiwali. May your new year be filled with hope, happiness, and prosperity. Sal Mubarak (sic)," Joe Biden wrote on Twitter.

The 77-year-old Democrat leader is set to become the oldest president in the history of the US.

US Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, who made history by becoming the first woman Black American and first Asian American to win the second-highest office in the country, also extended her greetings on the occasion.

"Happy Diwali and Sal Mubarak! @DouglasEmhoff and I wish everyone celebrating around the world a safe, healthy, and joyous new year," she wrote.
