Prime Minister Imran Khan, in his message on Eid, greeted the nation on the annual festival and thanked Allah Almighty for blessing with the holy month of Ramazan.
He said the objective of making the believers pass through the exercise of patience and thankfulness is to realize others’ sufferings and hunger as compassion towards others is the real strength and identity of human society.
“The same feelings were also the characteristics of State of Madina, which we follow as our role model.
We should stick to the very passion to play a role to develop a human-friendly society,” PM added.
He said the world was faced with the third wave of the pandemic, therefore the people should exercise extra caution and strictly abide by the anti-COVID precautions.
The precautions were also the injunctions of Islam as well as teachings of Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be Upon Him), he added.
Prime Minister also called for remembering those who have sacrificed their lives for a greater cause to bring pride to the nation.
Prime Minister Imran Khan on the occasion of Eid extended the prayers and wishes for Kashmiris and said that the Pakistani nation is with the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
