Governor P S Sreedharan Pillai and CM Pramod Sawant have extended their warm greetings to the people of Goa, particularly the Muslim brethren, on the auspicious festive occasion of Id-ul-Zuha.
In his message, the Governor said: "Id-ul-Zuha or Bakrid is also known as the feast of supreme sacrifice and is one of the most significant Islamic festivals. It commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son to submit to the will of God. All religions preach the universal values of love, peace and brotherhood. Let this festival foster the spirit of unity in diversity and strengthen the secular fabric of our country."
CM Sawant, in his message, said: “This spirit of sacrifice and dedication is commemorated by following traditional rituals and helping needy people, propagating the message of forgiveness and charity. The day also signifies the values of sacrifice, compassion, love and respect towards people in need and further nurture and strengthen the bond of brotherhood and humanity.”
