Chief Advisor Dr. Muhammad Yunus emphasized the necessity of forging stronger unity among all citizens to uphold the sacrifices made by the younger generation in building a new Bangladesh.
Speaking briefly after the Eid-ul-Fitr prayers at the National Eidgah ground in Dhaka on Monday (March 31), he stated, “We must work towards a national unity to honor those who dedicated their lives and lost their normal existence for the dream of a new Bangladesh.”
Dr. Yunus stressed the importance of collective effort, saying, “To advance as a permanently united nation, we must commit ourselves to this cause. We will fulfill the dreams of those who sacrificed themselves, no matter the obstacles.”
He also extended Eid greetings, stating, “Eid prayers are being held in every village, market, and city across Bangladesh today. On behalf of the nation, I wish everyone Eid Mubarak. To those unable to join the prayers, including mothers, sisters, and our brothers abroad, Eid Mubarak.”
The Chief Advisor particularly acknowledged expatriates, hospitalized individuals, and others unable to participate in the congregational prayers, ensuring them that they are not forgotten.
Earlier in the morning, Dr. Yunus attended the Eid prayer at the National Eidgah at 8:30 AM. The prayer was led by Mufti Mohammad Abdul Malek, the Khatib of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, while Muazzin Muhammad Habibur Rahman served as the Qari.
The congregation concluded with a special prayer for the welfare, peace, and prosperity of the country and the global Muslim community.
