He called for drawing lessons from the spirit of sacrifice and selflessness shown by Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and integrating them into our lives.

He said today, there is a pressing need to support the underprivileged and marginalized segments of our society. Along with the act of animal sacrifice, Eid calls upon us to make a solemn pledge to always care for those in need.

Asif Ali Zardari said as a nation, we must support each other, share in each other s sorrows, and work together to build a prosperous and great Pakistan.

In his message, the Prime Minister said the message of Eid-ul-Azha is not limited to the sacrifice of animals alone; it teaches us to sacrifice our ego, desires, and personal interests for higher purposes.

As our beloved homeland Pakistan moves forward on the path of development, we must embrace the spirit of unity, sacrifice, and selflessness.

He said this Eid teaches us not only the importance of sacrificing life and wealth but also that nations achieve greatness when they work for collective welfare and selflessness alongside individual development.

He said today, we must especially remember our Palestinian brothers and sisters who are enduring ruthless and inhumane oppression and hunger.

Shehbaz Sharif said likewise, we reaffirm our unwavering solidarity with the brave people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, who have been engaged in a just and courageous struggle for their right to self-determination for decades.

On the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, Chief of Army Staff, Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir, the Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, Chief of Naval Staff and Chief of Air Staff have extended their profound felicitations to the people of Pakistan.

On this day of reverence, they also honoured the noble families of Shuhada-e-Pakistan whose loved ones made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of peace and the nation.
