President Mamnoon Hussain and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif have extended heartiest felicitations to the nation and all Muslims across the world on the auspicious occasion of Eidul Azha.

In his felicitation message, Prime Minister Sharif urged the nation to rise above personal, sectarian and party interests to get rid of extremist elements, saying, “We should work on converging our spirit of sacrifice towards the unity of the nation and the Muslim community across the world which was the basis of Islamic teachings. If we devote our intent of sacrifice on true objectives, this would promote mutual harmony, brotherhood and tolerance in our lives.”
Sharif said Eidul Azha is a day of remembrance of the obedience of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) and the reverence his son, Hazrat Ismael (AS), who set an extraordinary example of sacrifice and selflessness. He said the real spirit lied in fostering the essence of sacrifice and reverence before Allah Almighty.
The premier prayed, “May Allah Almighty bless the country and nation with real happiness of Eidul Azha and guide us to understand the revered act of sacrifice so that we could follow it in its true spirit.”
He further said, “We should be grateful to Allah Almighty who blessed us with this auspicious occasion yet another time,” and prayed that “may these happy moments come over and over again in our lives”.
But we don’t have a Prime Minister!! Nawaz Sharif lives in London. Doesn’t celebrate Eid with those stupid people who voted for him.
