Message from Mr. Mamnoon
Hussain
President Islamic Republic
of Pakistan
(On the occasion of
Christmas-25th December, 2017)
Islamabad: December
24, 2017
“On the joyous occasion of the birth of
Jesus Christ, I congratulate Christians all over the world particularly the
Christian community in Pakistan from the core of my heart.
The
birthday of Jesus Christ is a day to reiterate universal teachings of patience,
tolerance, kindness and goodwill not only for the Christian community but for
the whole mankind. Peace and happiness can be brought back to the world engaged
in conflict of interests and wars by adopting these virtues. The lesson that we
learn from the teachings of the Jesus Christ is that life and property of all
people living on this planet should be given equal respect and protection
without discriminating on the basis of color, cast, region and belief. Human
beings should not be made fuel for fighting wars for materialistic interests
but instead the valuable resources should be spent on the welfare and
development of humanity. This is the best way to commemorate Jesus Christ.
The
services rendered by the Christian community of Pakistan for progress and
stability of the country particularly in the fields of medicine and education
are greatly valued by the people and Government of Pakistan. The Constitution
of Pakistan guarantees equal rights for all minority communities including our
Christian brethren and the Government of Pakistan is fulfilling its
constitutional and moral responsibilities in this regard.
I once again felicitate the Christian community all over the world and in Pakistan on the birthday of Jesus Christ.”
