The Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh has greeted the nation on the auspicious occasion of Id-ul-Zuha.

In a message Dr Singh said that Id-ul Zuha epitomizes the spirit of sacrifice and sharing. Hazrat Ibrahim's shining example of selfless sacrifice should inspire everyone to subordinate self-interest to the greater good of humankind. It is an occasion to reaffirm our responsibility towards the less privileged sections of our society.

May Id-ul-Zuha this year bring peace, happiness and joy for everyone, The Prime Minister added.
