CHENNAI: Governor Surjit Singh Barnala, Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and leaders of various political parties greeted Muslims on the occasion of Milad-un-Nabi.

Mr. Barnala, in his message, said, "Let us reaffirm our faith in the preaching of Prophet Muhammad and pledge to promote universal brotherhood, peace and mutual affinity."

Reservation

Recalling the Prophet's teaching that promises should be kept, Mr. Karunanidhi said the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam Government had fulfilled a majority of election promises.

It had not only restored holiday for Milad-un-Nabi but also urged the Centre to provide exclusive reservation for Muslims.

All-India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Jayalalithaa said the Prophet's teachings such as amity, peace and equality were still relevant.

Communal harmony

Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam general secretary Vaiko said Milad-un-Nabi gave an opportunity to the people to rededicate themselves to the cause of communal harmony and fraternity.
