“I pray to Allah Almighty to bless the Kashmiri people with success at every front and they celebrate the next festival in free atmosphere, said the President. The whole Pakistani and Kashmiri nation salutes their spirit,” the president added.
Masood Khan lauded the services of Pakistan Army, police, Frontier Constabulary and other law enforcement agencies whose personnel are working day and night for the defence of the country.
The Prime Minister Raja Farooq Haider felicitated the Islamic world in general and the Kashmiri and Pakistani nation in particular on the occasion of Eid.
“These are the blessings of Allah Almighty, Who provided us with an opportunity to benefit from the bounties and advantages of Ramzan ul Mubarak. May Allah accept our reverences during the holy month, bless us with His benevolence and forgiveness, and save us from the blaze of hell,” he added.
The prime minister said, “We, today, on this auspicious occasion, pledge not to become part of any kind of negative activity and will continue to work for the progress and prosperity of the country and nation.”
“We should also pledge that we will promote among us the teachings of tolerance, harmony, forgiveness, love and affection, patience, and generosity. It is only possible when we lead a life based on the golden principles of Islam and control the negative attitudes of jealousy and hatred.
