Tamil Nadu Governor K Rosiah and Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa among other leaders extended their Ramzan greetings today.
"On the holy occasion of Ramzan, I extend my warm Eid-ul-Fitr Greetings to Muslim brethren in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and all over the country," Rosaiah said.
The Holy Quaran emphasises on belief, Prayer, charity and good deeds, he said in a Raj Bhavan statement.
"Let us resolve to promote brotherhood, unity, peace, love and compassion and join hands to create a harmonious world," he added.
Ramzan is being celebrated tomorrow in the state.
Jayalalithaa recalled that Muslims fast for 30 days during the Ramzan season and celebrate it by holding special prayers in mosques and spending time with friends and relatives.
She pointed out at her government's various welfare measures meant for the Muslim community, such as provision of rice to over 3000 mosques to make gruel during the Ramzan season.
"Let love and peace be all over the world on this day and I extend my Ramzan greetings to my Muslim brothers and sisters," she said in a statement.
In his Ramzan greetings, DMK President M Karunanidhi hailed the principles of Prophet Mohammed.
PMK founder S Ramadoss and the AAP state unit also extended their Ramzan greetings.
Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu Thouheed Jamaath celebrated Eid today across the state with scores of Muslims holding prayers in different parts.
