As the people prepare to celebrate 'Eid-ul-Fitr' at the end of holy fasting month of Ramadhan, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has wished them well-being and prosperity.
In his greetings message, the Chief Minister highlighted the essence of the festival and said that this day is to address the needs of poor and share Eid-bliss with them.
"The spirit behind the observance of Eid-ul-Fitr is to express our thanks to Almighty Allah for giving us the courage to observe fast in the month of Ramadhan and rededicate ourselves to the path of truthfulness, sincerity, self-control, patience and human dignity," he said.
The Chief Minister prayed for peace and prosperity and wished the Eid be harbinger for all round development in the state and the country.
He also hoped that this holy occasion would strengthen the bonds of communal harmony, brotherhood and amity.
As the Muslims follow Lunar calendar, the fasting month of Ramadhan will come to an end with the sighting of crescent this evening or tomorrow evening.
