CA Yunus Joins Eid-ul-Fitr Prayers at Jatiya Eidgah
On Monday, Chief Adviser Prof. Muhammad Yunus participated in the holy Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at the National Eidgah in Dhaka, joining a large congregation in the spirit of celebration and reflection.
Alongside him, members of the Council of Advisers also observed the Eid prayers at the same venue, marking the significance of the occasion.
While the people of Bangladesh celebrated, the situation in Gaza presented a stark contrast. Palestinians in Gaza commemorated Eid amidst ongoing conflict, facing dwindling food supplies and the harsh realities of war. The atmosphere of sadness was palpable as many marked the holy holiday with no end in sight to their suffering.
Following the prayers, Dr. Yunus is scheduled to exchange Eid greetings with dignitaries from various sectors at his office in Tejgaon, as confirmed by his Deputy Press Secretary, Abul Kalam Azad Majumder.
Earlier, Dr. Yunus had extended his heartfelt greetings to the nation, wishing the people of Bangladesh a joyous Eid-ul-Fitr. "May this Eid bring peace, happiness, and prosperity. I hope everyone travels safely and joyfully with their loved ones," he said in his message.
In a separate message, Tarique Rahman also sent Eid greetings to the people of Bangladesh and the global Muslim Ummah, celebrating the spirit of unity and peace during this auspicious time.
