Bhagalpur, Nov. 7 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain on Monday greeted the nation on the auspicious occasion of Eid-al-Adha.
Hussain offered prayers along with the people of his constituency during the early hours here today.
Muslims in different parts of the country thronged the mosques to offer their prayers on the occasion of Eid-al-Adha.
"We also pray for the absolute peace and this time there will be a special prayer for this so that there can be peace in our country and whole nation. There is nothing bigger than peace," said Mufti Muhammad Shabbir Ahmad Siddiqui, a Muslim cleric.
Even small children took part in the prayers actively and later greeted each other whole-heartedly on the occasion.
The festival of Eid-al-Adha is also associated with the Haj pilgrimage, which every able-bodied Muslim wishes to perform at least once in a lifetime.
Popularly known as Baqr-Id, the festival is celebrated on the tenth day of Zil-Haja, the last month of the year according to the Islamic calendar. (ANI)
