Since the ancient past, the Islamic people have been devotedly practicing their religious rites and rituals during the Ramadan, helping others, and giving exemplary meaning to the cultural and religious diversity of the country.
I take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the active contribution of the Sri Lankan Muslim community to the country’s governance process, business sector, education, various professional fields, and fields of sports and culture.
I further expect the kind commitment and sacrifices made by the Muslim community to achieve extremely difficult goals during this period to continue with added strength in this period significant to you.
Happy Eid-ul-Fitr!
Dinesh Gunawardena (M.P.),
Prime Minister,
