PM-EID-GREETINGS
PM greets countrymen, Muslim Ummah on Eid-ul-Fitr
DHAKA, May 24, 2020 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has greeted the
countrymen as well as the Muslim Ummah across the globe on the occasion of
holy Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the biggest religious festivals of the Muslims.
In a message today, she prayed for continued peace, progress and prosperity
of the country’s people and the Muslim Ummah.
The prime minister said the Eid promotes peace, sympathy and brotherhood,
and it ties people with the bond of equity, friendship and harmony forgetting
animosity and violence.
Eid brings the message of happiness to all irrespective of the rich and the
poor, she said.
She hoped that the practice of self-purification, restraint, amity and
harmony of the Muslims in personal, family, social and state life would
spread everywhere.
“Let the life of all people be filled with the happiness of the Eid,”
Sheikh Hasina said, wishing happiness, peace and welfare of all people across
the world.
“We are celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr amid an abnormal environment. The whole
world stands still due to coronavirus. The normal life is halted. An
invisible virus puts the life of people at risk,” she said.
So, the premier said, people are compelled to stay their respective homes
to help contain the spread of coronavirus.
She expressed gratitude to the doctors, nurses, police, law enforcing
agencies and cleaners who have been working from the frontlines to tackle
coronavirus pandemic in the country.
“Not only Bangladesh, the entire world is in trouble now. In such
circumstances, we have to help each other with endless tolerance and
sympathy,” he added.
Sheikh Hasina urged people to avoid mass gatherings, and stay at their
homes and share the joy and happiness of Eid with their family members.
She simultaneously prayed to the Almighty Allah for early relief of the
country from the contagious coronavirus and continued peace, progress and
development of Bangladesh as well as the Muslim Ummah.
