Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday greeted the countrymen marking Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the greatest religious festivals of the Muslims, and wished the country's continuous peace and progress and welfare of the Muslims of the world.
The minister prayed these after performing his Eid Jamaat at his own village Sukhbilah Jame Mosque at Rangunia of Chittagong district.
After the namaz, Hasan exchanged greetings with locals.
Greeting the countrymen, he said the dishonest traders could not increase the prices of commodities during the holy month of Ramada and Eid for various steps of the government. The Eid journey was also very smooth this year, he added.
He said: "My prayer is to the great Almighty on the holy Eid that the country's progress, which is being held under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, be continued. I also pray that the politics of conspiracy, conflict, violence and hatred will be removed from the country forever and that we can all put the interests of the country above all."
The minister also prayed for all the Muslims who are being repressed in different places in the world.
