Prime Minister Narendra Modi greeted people on the occasion of Eid ul-Adha today, calling for the festival to “inspire harmony and strengthen the fabric of peace in our society.”
“Best wishes on Eid ul-Adha. May this occasion inspire harmony and strengthen the fabric of peace in our society. Wishing everyone good health and prosperity,” the PM said in his post on X.
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju also extended his wishes on the occasion. Posting his greetings in Urdu, he said, “Happy Eid al-Adha! Heartfelt congratulations to all Muslim brothers and sisters on this auspicious occasion.”
Earlier today, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also wished people, urging them to unite and foster a stronger bond to work towards a peaceful, harmonious, and just society.
“Eid al-Adha celebrates the noble values of selfless sacrifice, trust, and forgiveness. As we celebrate this joyous occasion, may we all unite to foster stronger fraternity and work towards a peaceful, harmonious, and just society. Eid Mubarak!” his post read.
As people across the country celebrated Eid, dargahs and mosques were filled with devotees offering prayers early in the morning. In Mumbai, people gathered at Jama Masjid Mahim Dargah, while in Delhi, many turned to the historic Jama Masjid at dawn to offer their prayers.
The air echoed with chants of “Eid Mubarak” as families—young and old—embraced and celebrated the spirit of sacrifice and compassion that the festival symbolises.
Eid al-Adha, also known as Id-ul-Adha in Arabic and Bakr-Id in the Indian subcontinent due to the tradition of sacrificing a goat or bakri, is celebrated across India with great fervour and joy.
