The complete text of the message is given below:
"Muharram is among the most sacred months of the Islamic Calendar which bears special significance in Islamic history for the Muslims. The 10th of Muharram reminds the Muslims the historic tragedy wherein Hazrat Imam Hussain (RA) and his companions embraced martyrdom at Karbala. It signifies the great sacrifice offered by the 72 martyrs who chose the path of truth to fight against the forces of evils and tyranny.
In the Karbala tragedy, there is a comprehensive message for us with far reaching effects. It teaches us the lessons of faith, steadfastness, perseverance and patience. On the auspicious occasion of Ashura, I take the opportunity to stress upon the countrymen in general and the people of KP and FATA in particular to maintain complete unity, cohesion and harmony in their ranks, demonstrate the highest level of spirit of fraternity and commitment for ensuring better future for the coming generations."
