On the occasion of Eid-ul-Adha, prominent Indian leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Arvind Kejriwal (national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party), shared heartfelt greetings emphasizing happiness, prosperity, and brotherhood. In his message, Modi expressed hopes that the festival would deepen societal bonds, while Kejriwal wished families joy and prosperity. Rahul Gandhi also extended warm wishes for unity and togetherness. Celebrations commenced early across India, with special prayers held at significant mosques such as Jama Masjid in New Delhi and Fatehpuri Masjid in Old Delhi. The festival, which falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, commemorates the willingness of Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son in obedience to God, symbolizing faith and devotion. To ensure safety during the festivities, the Delhi Police implemented heightened security measures, including drone monitoring.
