In Moradabad, ST Hasan, a leader of the Samajwadi Party, advised against politicizing religious matters during Eid-al-Adha, asserting that traditional sacrifices will continue but should not include protected animals. He emphasized the importance of respecting the religious sentiments of Hindus, particularly regarding cows, which he noted Muslims refrain from consuming. Hasan highlighted that Muslims in Uttar Pradesh have moved away from offering namaz on roads, opting for prayers in mosques instead. Alongside him, Samajwadi Party MP Mohibbullah Nadvi extended Eid greetings, underscoring the festival's significance in fostering community bonds and mutual respect. Meanwhile, security measures in Noida were heightened to ensure law and order during the celebrations, with over 180 mosques prepared for the observance of namaz. Eid al-Adha, celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, symbolizes faith and devotion through the commemoration of Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice.
