Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has urged the nation to ensure a peaceful Muharramul Haram especially Yaum-e-Ashur.
In a message on Yaum-e-Ashur, the premier asked the nation to support the government in its efforts to maintain peace, law and order in the country. He also directed the law enforcement agencies to ensure protection of the lives and properties of people.
“We are proud to be Muslims. We are one and the followers of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) and we are proud over the great sacrifices at Karbala,” he said.
The premier said that the Karbala incident gives the Muslim Ummah a lesson to renew its pledge to offer sublime sacrifices by always upholding the supreme values of righteousness and truth.
“With such yearning and passion, we have to prepare ourselves and each member of the nation to offer every sacrifice on the path of righteousness and truth, so that as a nation, we can remain steadfast on our path to the real destination,” he stressed.
The PM observed that the Pakistani nation recently, with its determination in upholding values of truth and virtues carved a prominent niche not only among the Muslim Ummah but also among the comity of nations.
“The supreme sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) teaches us that by following his path, survival of democracy could be made,” he added.
He said that Hazrat Imam Hussain(AS)’s struggle also reminds us to stand against every dictator and the system of injustice.
“It also carries a message of shutting all the covert attempts to seek power through back doors and illegitimate means,” said Sharif.
