Islamabad: March 31, 2024
“I extend my heartful greetings to the Christian community of Pakistan and around the world, on the occasion of Easter.
Much more than festivity and celebration, Easter is an occasion to reinforce and reflect on the values of love, tolerance and forgiveness as espoused by Prophet Isa (AS) and is a reminder to emulate these in our daily lives to bring harmony and peace in today’s strife and conflict-ridden world.
On this auspicious occasion, I laud the immense contributions of our Christian community in struggle for the creation of Pakistan and its socio-economic development and firmly believe that they will continue to play their proactive role in the progress and stability of Pakistan.
While we celebrate diversity of faiths as a source of strength and enrichment in our nation, let us join hands towards building a society that is tolerant and cohesive and together defeat the forces of discord that are trying to cause harm to the fabric of our society.
We reaffirm our resolve to work for the social uplift and integration of all our minorities in Pakistan.
Wishing all our Christian community a happy and peaceful Easter!”
