Punjab Chief Minister Usman Ahmad Khan Buzdar has said that the nation is celebrating the start of new Pakistan as well as the happy occasion of Eidul Azha with full fervour; new Pakistan has rejuvenated the happiness of the Eid festival.
In his message issued here on the eve of Eidul Azha, the Chief Minister said that he congratulates the nation of both the joyous occasions of Eidul Azha and the dawn of new Pakistan. "The Eid is a religious festival of sacrifice, love and affection and the religion of Islam has sensitized its followers to include the penurious families in their happiness. Sharing our joys and happiness with the impecunious strata is the real philosophy of the Eid festival and we are ethically bound to share our happiness with the disfranchised segments of the society," he added.
According to him, serving the hapless and indigent segments is the real message of the Eid and we should always remember those who have had sacrificed their lives for the defence of the country. It is our collective responsibility to share the Eid joys with the families of martyrs because the immortal sacrifices of those who had sacrificed their lives in war against terrorism cannot be forgotten.
"We pay our rich tributes to the sacrifices of our martyrs on this occasion of the Eid and show solidarity with their families. We should also make a commitment to serve the ailing humanity on this happy occasion and this day also requires that we should promote the passions of love and affection by forgetting our differences," concluded the chief minister.
