Message from the Prime Minister

Eid-ul-Fitr Ramadan Festival is a very sacred event in the Muslim calendar which is being celebrated by the Sri Lankan Muslim community with great devotion and also a very important religious event in the lives of Muslims.

During the month of Ramadan festival Muslims adhere to brotherhood, equality and coexistence for one whole month observing the strict rituals.

It is not only controlling the desire for food and hunger pangs, the mental and physical discipline development during Ramadan period contribute to create a better society. This is a period the Muslim community helps each other generously, especially concentrating to the needs of their less privileged brethren.

This year Muslim Community has got a golden opportunity to celebrate Ramadan Festival without any suspicion or fear while breathing the fresh air of freedom. It is indeed a great reason to rejoice.

I wish a happy, prosperous and peaceful Ramadan Festival to all Muslim brethren in Sri Lanka and all over the world.
