President Asif Ali Zardari Thursday felicitated the nation on Eid-ul-Fitr and urged the people to feel and share the pains of the victims of terrorism and sectarianism on the festive occasion. The President in a message said “we must not forget the pains of those brothers and sisters who have fallen a victim to terrorism.” “Lets also share our joys with those who have suffered at the cost of sectarianism,” President Zardari said. The President exhorted the nation, not (not) to put aside at any cost the spirit of mutual affinity, sharing of pain, tolerance, respect for humanity and well being of others.“We should also try to completely eradicate sectarianism and intolerance,” he said. The President felicitated all countrymen on the festive occasion of Eid ul Fitr and prayed that may this eid prove to be a source of abundant joy for all. He said the occasion this year comes at a time, when the nation has achieved a milestone in its journey towards democracy. He said a new democratic era has dawned after the completion of a term of a government. The President said the completion of democratic transition was an important achievement of the nation and it deserves to be felicitated on both these counts. “Lets bow our heads before Allah Almighty on this blessed and joyous occasion and offer our gratitude for granting us the gift of Eid ul Fitr.” The President asked the nation to share the happiness of Eid with families, friends, neighbours and those deserving people, who due to some reason were unable to fully enjoy the festivity. He said “we must resolve to share our happiness with the needy, deserving, poor and the deprived, and to carry forward this tradition.” “I pray to Allah Almighty that he protects us all with His benevolence and showers His blessings on us and makes this country a centre of peace and security. Aameen,” President Zardari said.
