Eid-ul-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramazan, is being celebrated by Muslims across this part of the globe with religious fervour and gaiety on Wednesday. There will be congregational Eid prayers at Hazratbal as well as shrines and mosques on April 10. There will be no prayers however at the historic Eidgah.
NC president Dr Farooq Abdullah greeted in his tweet, “I extend my warm wishes to people on the auspicious occasion praying that the Almighty accept our month-long fasting, repentance, prayers and rectitude. I urge the affluent class in the society to help those who do not have any resources to celebrate the Eid. The prevailing situation has regrettably increased the social gap with uncertainty looming large over the poorest of poor, daily wagers, marginal farmers pushing them to the brink of hunger. On the auspicious occasion of Eid ul Fitr, the well off in our society should lend all support to the people in need.”
Party Vice President Omar Abdullah also extended his warm wishes to the people on the auspicious occasion of Eid ul Fitr and said, “On this day we should include the underprivileged in our happiness. There is no superior act than sharing our resources with the people in need. I wish the candles of piety and faith remain lit in our families and neighbourhood throughout the year. I extend my warm wishes to the people on the auspicious eve with a view that the needs of the people at need are taken care of by the affluent ones. May the auspicious day increase the prospects of peace, prosperity, and brotherhood in J&K.”
