Eid al-Adha was celebrated peacefully across Kashmir on Monday, but the administration did not allow prayers at the Jamia Masjid and Eidgah in the Old City. “Sixth Consecutive Year: Authorities disallow Eid Prayers at Historic Eid gah, Jama Masjid Srinagar: Mirwaiz-e-Kashmir put under house arrest, barred from offering Eid prayers for the sixth time in a row,” the official account of Mirwaiz Manzil on ‘X’ posted. We are unable to understand why the restrictions are being imposed on peaceful congregational prayers.” The biggest congregational Eid prayers were held at Dargah Hazratbal on the banks of Dal Lake where thousands of devotees offered prayers. Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and National Conference president Farooq Abdullah and his son Omar Abdullah also offered Eid prayers at Dargah Hazratbal. Jammu and Kashmir lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha also extended Eid greetings, and hoped that the festival strengthens the bonds of peace and brotherhood and brought peace, happiness and joy to everybody.
