"On the auspicious occasion of Christmas, I extend my heartfelt greetings and congratulations to all Christians in Bangladesh and around the world. I wish them happiness, peace, and prosperity.  

On this day, the great Jesus Christ, the messenger of truth, justice, peace, and compassion, came to this world. For all Christians, this day is profoundly sacred and glorious. He came to strengthen the bonds of humanity. A large segment of the world’s population follows the religion and philosophy of Jesus Christ.  

The core message of all religions is peace, coexistence, and the pursuit of humanity. Throughout history, great individuals have shown people the path of truth and justice through selfless dedication. They inspired humanity to eliminate falsehood and build a collective life of moral excellence and happiness. Similarly, Jesus Christ encouraged his followers to be unwaveringly devoted to humanity.  

Christmas is a universal religious festival that awakens the joyous essence of humanity. At the heart of every festival lies harmony, coexistence, and goodwill.  

As human beings, it is our duty to work for the welfare of the country, society, and people from our respective positions. It is essential for us to renounce envy and hatred, establish peace and stability in society, and commit ourselves to resisting all forms of injustice and cruelty. By understanding the life philosophies of great individuals, we can engage ourselves in the service of humanity. Only then can we achieve the satisfaction of the Creator.  

I wish all Christmas programs great success.
