Sadhotra greets people on commencement of Ramadhan

Srinagar, Feb 19: National Conference Additional General Secretary and former minister Ajay Kumar Sadhotra has greeted people on the commencement of the holy month of Ramadhan and prayed for peace, tranquility and further strengthening of the pluralistic character of Jammu and Kashmir.

In his message, Sadhotra said Ramadhan is a sacred period of self-discipline and compassion, observed with deep devotion and humility by the Muslim community across the world. Extending his wishes to the Muslim brethren, Sadhotra expressed hope that the month-long fasting, prayers and acts of charity would bring spiritual fulfilment and renewed hope to families across the region.

Praying for sustained peace and tranquility, Sadhotra said J&K has historically been known for its composite culture and  pluralistic ethos. He expressed hope that the spirit of Ramadan would further reinforce this inclusive character and help deepen harmony among diverse

communities. “The holy month should serve as a reminder of our shared values and collective aspirations for peace, progress and unity,” he said. The National Conference Addl General Secretary hoped that the government would ensure regulated and uninterrupted supply of essential services, particularly electricity and safe drinking water, during the holy month so that devotees are able to observe prayers and fasting without inconvenience. He said facilitating smooth arrangements during Ramadan is a collective responsibility of the administration.
