The message reads, in part:
“Over these joyous Easter days, the hearts of millions of people are filled with love for each other, belief in goodness, and sincere desire to do good and help the needy.
I want to thank you for your devoted labour and note the immense personal contribution you make to preserving social peace and harmony, harmonising interethnic and interfaith relations, and resolving the biggest questions concerning our nation’s cultural and moral health. Your tireless effort to educate our young people and protect and preserve enduring spiritual and family values deserves our sincere respect.”
