Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has extended Eid greetings to Muslims in general and overseas Pakistanis in particular who are celebrating this festival today.

In a tweet, he said Eid-ul-Azha symbolizes the spirit of sacrifice, equality and compassion.

The Prime Minister said this Eid fosters unity by reducing socio-economic inequalities and creates the feelings of empathy and complete surrender before Allah Almighty.

He said the true observance of Eid ritual demands us to adopt a life of piety and cleanliness.  

Meanwhile, in a message on the occasion of Eid ul Azha, Prime Shehbaz Sharif has urged the people to take special care of those people on the occasion of Eid, who have become homeless due to previous year’s floods.

The Prime Minister prayed for peace and prosperity of Muslim Ummah and alleviation of the sufferings of Muslims across the world, particularly the oppressed brothers and sisters in the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Palestine.
