by APP

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has stressed upon promotion of unity to adequately foil nefarious designs of elements trying to sow seeds of discord in society and destabilise Pakistan.

In his message on the occasion of Eidul Fitr, the prime minister felicitated the nation and the Muslim Ummah on the august occasion.

The prime minister noted that Pakistan was a collection of various religious communities and they celebrated their religious events with equal respect. The Muslims joined their minorities’ brothers and sisters, a gesture of tolerance and harmony, which was also reciprocated by the latter, he said.

He expressed the confidence that the same spirit of unity and harmony would be showed in each village and mohalla.

The prime minister reiterated that present government was committed to make the motherland a cradle of progress, peace and prosperity where everyone had equal opportunities to excel. There should be respect for knowledge and justice to everyone, he added.

He said all this would be possible when there was stability in the country, without political firmness, the realisation of social steadiness was not possible. Expressing his profound grief over the tragic incidents of Parachinar, Quetta and Karachi, in which ordinary citizens and government employees were barbarically targeted, he said, the entire nation was shrouded with a pall of gloom. “The whole nation shared their grief and expressed solidarity with them,” he said, adding the Pakistani nation had the capabilities to overcome such tragedies and stood behind the security institutions for their efforts to eliminate terrorism, acknowledging their sacrifices.
