Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah has greeted the people of the state on the eve of Eid-ul-Azha describing the day as a great occasion for sharing happy moments, especially with the poor and needy.
"This is also the holy occasion of imbibing the spirit of sincerity and truthfulness in our hearts and minds," he said in his Eid message issued here.
Abdullah said the day reminds people of the great sacrifice by the Prophets of Islam -- Hazrat Ibrahim and his beloved son Hazrat Ismail -- which showed their loyalty, allegiance and faith in the Almighty.
The chief minister also called for remembering the poorer sections of the society and making them integral part of the celebration.
