April 22, 2023, Colombo: Sri Lanka President Ranil Wickremesinghe says he is confident that this year’s celebrations of Eid-al-Fitr will serve to unify all Sri Lankans, irrespective of their race and religion, to work towards the common goal of developing a robust and equitable society that upholds the values of freedom and human dignity.
The Muslim community in Sri Lanka is celebrating Eid al-Fitr today (April 22) as the new crescent moon was sighted yesterday, following Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar during which the Muslims observe a daily fast from dawn to sunset.
