Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Munir Akram, has greeted the UN community and Muslim citizens on Eid-ul-Adha, while paying tributes to the “heroic” struggle of the Kashmiri people for their right to self-determination.
In a message on the occasion of Eid-ul Azha, which is being celebrated in the U.S. on June 28, he said, “On this auspicious occasion it is appropriate to manifest in accordance with the immutable princi-ples of Islam, our support and solidarity for all those people confronted by misfortune and oppression; by war and pestilence; by exploitation and foreign occupation.
“May this Eid bring peace and prosperity to our heroic brothers and sisters in Illegally Indian Occu-pied Jammu and Kashmir who are making enormous sacrifices to secure their freedom and self-determination.
“On this Eid, let us also reaffirm our commitment to end global hunger and eliminate inequality, injustice & discrimination across the world.
“Eid Mubarak and all the blessings of the Almighty for you and your loved ones”.—APP
