He further called on leaders at all levels to use the occasion of Eid to promote messages of tolerance and inclusiveness, stressing that unity remains critical to overcoming the nation’s socio economic and security challenges. According to him, the media also has a responsibility to promote narratives that foster understanding and national integration.
