He said, “The message of Eid-ul-Azha is not only limited to the sacrifice of the animal but it also gave a lesson of sacrifice of self, our wishes and interests for the sake of higher objectives.”
“This spirit of sacrifice inculcates the qualities of patience, courage, sacrifice and altruism in the humans, which can be a foundation for the progress of a nation,” he observed.
He said, “Today our beloved country Pakistan is on the path of progress and at this moment we have to embrace the spirit of solidarity and sacrifice.”
The prime minister said the blessed occasion of Eid-ul-Azha reminded everyone that the path of sacrifice led to success.
“Like it happened during the recent Indian attack, when the whole nation stood united and solid against the enemy sending a clear message that the Pakistani nation will not hesitate to offer any sacrifice for its defence and dignity,” he said adding, “Similarly we have to persistently show unity and resolve to surmount the internal difficulties.”
He said, “We have to realize our economic and social responsibilities and have to pool all our resources to make our country strong, prosperous and self-sufficient.”
