Eidul Azha Mubarak to all Pakistanis, Dawn Editors, Managers,Addvertizers,writers,and all the staff including the newspaper hawkers. During this event of happiness please don't forget the poor people, and provide meat at their doorsteps, as regards sacrifying or slaughtering cows please don't share graphic photos on social media or face book, and abstain from showing any hurting photos to a section of neighboring country population. Such a positive step will create harmony and change of mindset, and will promote brotherhood amongst vast population next door. I also say Eidul Azha Mubarak to all Indians,and hope they will maintain peace and tranquility amongst all segments of population.
