He also honored the families of martyrs, including those affected by the recent Jaffar Express train incident.
Shehbaz reaffirmed Pakistan’s solidarity with the people of Palestine and Kashmir, urging global leaders to address ongoing human rights violations in these regions. “As we celebrate Eid, let us stand with the oppressed,” he added.
As the nation prepares for Eid festivities, both leaders encouraged Pakistanis to embody the occasion’s spirit by fostering love, compassion, and unity, ensuring a brighter future for all citizens.
