Paul Poupard, president of the Papal Council for Inter-religious Dialogue, in the message sent to the "Hindu friends" on the occasion of the feast of "Diwali". "In the difficult predicament in which we are today asks the cardinal can’t we join forces and cooperate so that there will be justice for everyone, and consequently work, also through joint plans, to improve the conditions of the oppressed, the outcast, the poor, the orphans and the weak?". "The believers of all religions are called to overcome the hatred and mistrust that are widespread in today’s society", writes card. Poupard, who mentions, as an example of "brutish violence", the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India.
