In a message,the Chief Minister said that observation of Ramzan fasting is a pathway towards purity of soul in a healthy body. The holy month of Ramzan signifies the willpower of man to attain self-control over his mind and body; and stands a symbol of universal love, selfless service and spiritual maturity in the mainstream of life. The eternal values preached by Prophet Mohammed are very much significant and relevant to every generation since the times immemorial, the Chief Minister added.

"We are committed to provide education for all Muslim children, employment opportunities for all those who pass out from the colleges and vocational study centers. We will not rest until we bring all the Muslim families, especially the poorest of the poor on par with others. I wish the Muslim brothers and sisters a happy and prosperous id-ul-fitr. May Allah, the most beneficent and merciful shower his blessings on them", the Chief Minister said.

The Chief Minister hoped that the festival would strengthen the bonds of love, compassion and mutual understanding among the people, and bring new cheer and prosperity in their lives.
