KARACHI: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will celebrate Eid in London, it was learnt on Friday.
According to PPP sources, Bilawal travelled to London to attend marriage ceremony of his aunt Sanam Bhutto’s daughter, who is his first cousin as well.
In his statement, the PPP chief said: “I wish to felicitate the Muslims throughout the world in general and of Pakistan in particular on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr”.
In his message on the eve of Eid-ul-Fitr, the Chairman Bilawal reminded that Ramdan enjoined upon Muslims to fight the forces of intolerance and evil and to inculcate the values of tolerance and humility.
The end of the month of Ramadan, however, should not mark the end of pursuit of these pristine values, he said, adding that “let us pledge to pursue these values throughout the year”. The evil of our age is intolerance, bigotry and extremism, he said.
“Together, we must fight the evil of intolerance and extremism in whatever shape and manifestation”. On this Eid, the Muslims should also ponder over the challenges to their unity and close their ranks, the PPP Chairman said.
“On this occasion let us also remember the destitute and less fortunate and all those who have laid down their lives in the fight against militancy for the sake of peace in the country,” Bilawal said.
The PPP chairman concluded: “May the blessings of the month of Ramazan, that has just ended, remain with all of you for the whole year”.
