Bakrid Festival Greetings from the Hon'ble Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Thiru C. Joseph Vijay.

On the occasion of the festival of sacrifice, Bakrid, I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes with affection to all my Muslim brothers and sisters.

Bakrid is celebrated to commemorate the supreme devotion and sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim, who, in obedience to God's command, was willing to sacrifice his own son Ismail.

Bakrid stands as a sacred festival that impresses upon humanity the noble values of faith in God, sacrifice, compassion, sharing and humanity.

On this Bakrid festival, which emphasises sharing joy with the poor and the underprivileged, and upholding love and equality in society, I request that humanity and communal harmony flourish further in our society, and once again extend my Bakrid greetings to all.
