Governor, CM extends bakrid greetings

Tamil Nadu Governor Ch Vidyasagar Rao and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa and other leaders extended their Bakrid greetings today.
"Bakrid reminds us the glory of sacrifice. Hazrat Ibrahim stands as an epitome of sacrifice. Let us on the Festival of Sacrifice resolve to promote the spirit of sharing and giving and develop oneness and unity among all," Rao said.
"I convey my heartiest greetings to all my Muslim Brethren and wish them happy, healthy and prosperous life," he said in a Raj Bhavan statement.
Jayalalithaa said that Bakrid symbolised sacrificing anything for the supreme lord and praised Ibrahim's sacrifice and dedication.

If the preachings of Koran such as feeding the poor, forgiveness and charity were followed in letter and spirit there will be love and humanity all over the world, she said.
DMK President M Karunanidhi, MDMK founder Vaiko and others extended their greetings for Bakrid, being celebrated tomorrow.
