Several political leaders conveyed warm wishes on Eid-ul-Fitr, highlighting the festival’s essence of unity and brotherhood. In Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, Samajwadi Party MP Ziaur Rahman Barq joined devotees at the Eidgah for prayers. Meanwhile, in Lucknow, Minister Danish Azad Ansari emphasized the significance of Eid for the Muslim community, noting peaceful prayers held nationwide.
In Delhi, BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi offered prayers at Imamia Hall, extending heartfelt greetings for peace globally. Similarly, in Patna, JD(U) leader Nishant Kumar, on behalf of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, extended Eid greetings to all citizens. Minister Ashok Chaudhary stressed communal harmony, equating the celebration of Eid with other festivals like Holi and Diwali.
In Mumbai, AIMIM spokesperson Waris Pathan and Congress State President Ajay Rai also extended Eid greetings, underlining themes of unity and happiness. Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, is being observed with prayers, feasts, and gatherings in India and worldwide. However, subdued celebrations in parts of West Asia due to conflicts have led to extended public holidays in some countries.
Ramadan, a sacred month in Islam, involves fasting, prayer, and spiritual reflection. Eid-ul-Fitr, known as the “festival of breaking the fast,” concludes this period of devotion. The festival varies in date across regions based on the sighting of the crescent moon in Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar.
