President, PM dedicate Eid to army, IDPs
July 29, 2014
The prime minister, in a message on Eidul Fitr, greeted the entire Muslim Ummah and in particular the Pakistani nation. He said Eid was a day of gratitude after the successful completion of a month of fasting in compliance with Allah s commandment.
“We can enjoy the true happiness of Eid only when we share the joys with our poor relatives, neighbours, brothers and sisters,” the prime minister said.
“I dedicate the auspicious day of Eid to all the valiant soldiers who are waging a battle to rid Waziristan of terrorism and all the internally displaced persons.”
The prime minister said the Eid day was a day of thankfulness. “We thank Almighty Allah and pay rich tributes to all those martyrs who have laid down their lives for the defence and security of their country.”
He said it was a day of jubilation but pointed out that our joy will remain incomplete till the women, children and elderly uprooted from Waziristan do not return to their homes and are fully and safely rehabilitated.
He said the month of Ramazan gives a lesson of patience and tolerance and urged that this one-month-long training must be reflected in daily practical lives.
“We must exhibit our best behaviour and it should reflect restraint and composure and we must reach out to those who are deprived.
We also must try to share the joys of Eid with our relatives and neighbours and demonstrate high moral values so that Pakistan reflects a picture of a real civilised society.
I pray for peace progress and prosperity of every citizen of Pakistan and its every city, Ameen,” the prime minister said.
President Mamnoon Hussain wished blessed Eid celebration to the nation and in his message dedicated the occasion to the jawans and officers of the army fighting in North Waziristan and the IDPs from the war stricken area.
