All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Monday extended his best wishes on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr, expressing hope for peace and justice in the country.
“I extend my best wishes to all on the occasion of Eid Al Fitr, and we hope that peace and justice will prevail in our country,” Owaisi told reporters.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav also conveyed his greetings, emphasizing the spirit of unity and brotherhood that Eid represents.
“Today, I extend my warm greetings to all the people of the entire state, country, and the world. We all celebrate the festival of Eid with joy by hugging each other and hope that we all respect each other by doing so. This is the beauty of our country, where people of different religions live together,” Yadav said.
Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, is being celebrated across India with prayers, gatherings, and festive meals. Special Namaz was offered at mosques, Eidgahs, and open grounds, including Delhi’s historic Jama Masjid, where families and children came together to celebrate.
In cities like Vadodara, Agra, and Ghaziabad, Muslims gathered in large numbers to offer prayers and exchange greetings. In Agra, Eid prayers were held near the iconic Taj Mahal, where devotees prayed for peace and harmony.
However, the celebrations also saw protests in some areas against the Waqf Board Amendment Bill. In Hyderabad, a group of people at Ujale Shah Eidgah in Saidabad wore black bands to express their opposition. Similar protests were held in Aishbagh alongside Eid prayers.
Security was tightened in several cities to ensure a smooth and peaceful celebration.
Eid-ul-Fitr, known as the “Festival of Breaking the Fast,” marks the conclusion of Ramadan, a month of fasting and spiritual reflection. The festival reinforces values of charity, kindness, and compassion, with many people giving Zakat and providing support to the less fortunate as part of the celebrations.
