Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said
that amid the country facing terrorism and extremist mindset, it was need of
the hour to work for the country's prosperity, putting aside all regional,
ethnic and racial prejudices and hatred.
In his message to the
nation on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, the prime minister greeted his
countrymen and said practising the teachings of sacrifice, brotherhood, peace
and love was required today more than ever.
He prayed to Allah Almighty to bless
people with such joyous occasions repeatedly in their lives.
He
said "Eid-ul-Azha reminds us the obedience of Holy Prophet Ibrahim (Peace
be Upon Him) and submission of Prophet Ismail (PBUH) and Allah Almighty loved
this act to the extent of obligating it as worship for the Muslims till the day
of judgment."
Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said the
spirit of sacrifice was of universal importance and no nation can achieve moral
excellence without inculcating the very spirit in their lives as it was meant
to sacrifice one's desires for high principles.
He viewed that this spirit also gives the
doer the capacity and courage to show courage and patience in the hour of
distress. Only the nations having such characteristics can achieve prosperity
respectfully and collectively, he added.
The prime minister also advised the
countrymen not to forget their Kashmiri brethren while celebrating Eid who had
been spending their festivals under oppression for the last several decades.
He also called for prayers for an end to the
sufferings of the Kashmiri people and hoped that their distressful journey
would get over very soon when they would get freedom.
The prime minister also reiterated that
Pakistan would continue extending moral, political and diplomatic support to
the people of Kashmir at every forum till they get their right to
self-determination.
He also prayed to Allah Almighty to grant
us the real joys of Eid and practise in our lives the real spirit of sacrifice.
