Holy month: President, PM extend Ramazan greetings

ISLAMABAD:

Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has felicitated the nation on the advent of Ramazan-ul-Mubarak and urged them to pray for the country’s peace and prosperity during the sacred month. “Our government, with the blessings of Allah Almighty and with the prayers of elderly people, mothers, daughters, sisters and brothers, has made many achievements in terms of economy and defence during the last two years,” the PM said in a message to the nation.

He said the enemy was continuously engaged in new conspiracies and was bent upon destabilising Pakistan. “But we, Insha Allah, will not let the enemy succeed in its nefarious designs, and will foil every plot against our sacred land through determination, courage and will,” he said.

President Mamnoon Hussain has urged the nation to resolve all the internal and external issues confronting the country through mutual harmony, understanding, cooperation, unity and accord. In a message to the nation on the onset of the holy month, the President said, “we know that forgiveness, love and affection, tolerance and mutual empathy are the core of our religion. Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) has directed us to adopt this way to resolve the issues.”
