Srinagar: On the auspicious occasion of Eid ul Fitr, I feel elated while extending my warmest wishes and happy greetings to all Muslims throughout the world, particularly to my brothers and sisters within and outside Kashmir.
Dear brothers and sisters Amidst Eid celebrations, let us not forget the less privileged lot of our society. Let us not forget the families of those proud sons of the soil who laid down their lives in pursuit of the collective cause, the families of those who have been languishing in jails far away from their homes.
Let us not forget the families who lost their homes and hearths as a result of the occupation authorities’ ruthless land eviction, confiscation and house demolishing drive recently. Let us redouble our efforts to alleviate the sufferings of those who are destitute and needy so that they can also celebrate Eid and feel the sense of sharing.
Dear brothers and sisters The true spirit of Eid lies in sharing and caring for the less privileged and poor who deserve to be remembered and supported on this auspicious occasion.
There are hundreds and thousands of orphans, families of martyrs and jailed Hurriyat activists, who really deserve to be supported during these turbulent times.
I earnestly request the philanthropists and affluent people of our society to come forward in a big way and play their part to alleviate the sufferings of their brethren who have been the worst victims of Indian state terrorism.
May Allah (SWT) accept our supplications and guide us to imbibe the spirit of Ramazan and to employ that spirit in rebuilding the lives of our brothers and sisters in need. Aameen
