PM Imran Khan wishes Hindu community on Diwali
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday extended his wishes to all Hindu citizens on the occasion of Diwali, the festival of lights.
Other prominent members of the government, including Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Finance Minister Asad Umar, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and Sindh Governor Imran Ismail, also wished the Hindu community a happy Diwali.
National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser also greeted Hindu parliamentarians and the Hindu community on the occasion, describing Pakistan as a "pluralistic country and enriched with cultural diversity", Radio Pakistan reported.
Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif also wished the Hindu community on the occasion, asserting that members of the Hindu community are equal citizens of Pakistan.
The PML-N president said that the rights of non-Muslims were enshrined in the Constitution and guaranteed by Islam, and that members of minority communities have played an important role in the formation, defence, construction and development of Pakistan.
He added that the PML-N would continue to play its role in protecting the rights of non-Muslims.
PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also extended his greetings to Hindu communities across the world and in Pakistan on the eve of Diwali.
Pakistani border officials also exchanged a gift of sweets with their Indian counterparts at the Wagah border to mark the festive occasion.

Twenty-one days after "Dussehra" ─ a festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil ─ comes one of the most awaited festivals among Hindus, Diwali, which is celebrated to mark the day when Lord Rama returned home after his 14-year exile.
Diwali is a five day colourful festival which involves lighting of candles, worshipping, celebrations and prayers.
Diwali is celebrated in more than 10 countries: Malaysia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad, Tobago, Suriname, Singapore, Fiji, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
During this time houses are cleaned and windows are opened to welcome Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Candles and lamps are lit in and outside every home as a greeting to Lakshmi.
All celebrations end at daybreak, and people then visit friends, relatives and exchange sweets and gifts

What about the grub? Is meat consumption on Diwali against the Hindu faith?

I don't know man it's a cultural thing I guess. No idea how is it in the other states.
My mom strictly forbids meat on auspicious days such as these.
You don't know what a typical Diwali dinner is?

I was answering your question with regards to meat.
As for dinner, it varies. Today my mom has cooked dal bati and churma along with lapsi(local sweet dish made from oats). Apart from that there are loads of sweet dishes ranging from ras malai to gulab jamun to kaju katali.
