       He urged the nation to remember those who were deprived of basic necessities and to extend a helping hand to those in need.

       “By fostering the values of empathy and solidarity, society can strengthen the bonds of social harmony and mutual respect,” he added.

       Mr Sadiq stated that while celebrating this joyous occasion, oppressed people of Palestine and Indian-occupied Kashmir, who continued to endure unimaginable atrocities should be remembered on this occasion. He lamented that Israeli aggression in Gaza had led to the martyrdom of thousands of innocent Palestinians, while relentless bombings had destroyed homes of innocent Muslims in Palestine, leaving millions without access to food, water, and medical care.

       Similarly, the people of occupied Jammu and Kashmir remained victims of brutal oppression under Indian occupation. He called upon the international community to take immediate and effective measures to alleviate the sufferings of these oppressed populations.

       The speaker underscored that Eidul Fitr served as a reminder of the significance of unity and cohesion, particularly at a time when Pakistan was facing numerous challenges.

       He urged the nation to stand together to overcome these adversities and prayed that this blessed occasion brings peace, prosperity, and progress to every citizen of Pakistan.

       Similarly, National Assembly Deputy Speaker Ghulam Mustafa Shah also extended heartfelt greetings to the nation and reaffirmed Pakistan’s unwavering solidarity with the people of Palestine and Kashmir. He expressed hope that Allah Almighty would soon grant them the blessing of freedom.

       He prayed that Eidul Fitr proved to be a harbinger of peace, prosperity, and development for Pakistan and the entire Muslim world.
