Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, Secretary General of Pakistan Awami Tehreek, has stated that Eid-ul-Adha is a grand day for the practical demonstration of Islam’s teachings of brotherly fraternity and camaraderie. He emphasized that on this day, it is incumbent upon the wealthy to assist the needy, deliver sacrificial meat to them, and seek their prayers.

Meanwhile, Khurram Nawaz Gandapur visited slaughterhouses and distribution centers as part of the collective sacrifice campaign organized by Minhaj Welfare Foundation and reviewed the arrangements.

Deputy Nazim-e-Ala Jawad Hamid briefed him on the occasion, stating that collective sacrifices would be conducted at 300 locations, including in Lahore, and the meat would be distributed to millions of deserving people.
