He expressed hope that the sacred occasion will usher in goodwill and harmony and further strengthen the values of composite society.

In his message to the people, the Governor said that the festival of IEid ul-Adha marks the culmination of the holy month of ‘Ramzan’, the month of prayers, blessings, and forgiveness. This festivity reminds us of the absolute faith of the Ramzan observers in the Almighty and promotes goodwill amongst the people, he said. 

"On this Eid, I seek Allah’s blessings for every one’s happiness and for enabling each and every Indian citizen to fight off the Corona virus menace," the Governor said in his message.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Pema Khandu today extended his warm greetings to the Muslim community of the world celebrating Eid  ul-Adha or Bakra-Eid as it is called in India. 

“On the auspicious occasion of Eid ul-Adha, we must remember the act of sacrifice by Ibrahim who offered his son Ismael for sacrifice to God,” said the CM, in a separate message.

"His willingness to sacrifice his son impressed Allah, and replaced him with a lamb instead for sacrifice," he added.

The Chief Minister said that we must take it upon ourselves to offer our services for the growth of the state and nation.

"Although Covid-19 has dramatically affected our celebrations, the spirit of Eid should not be hampered," he further added.
