For­mer Min­is­ter of Pub­lic Util­i­ties Nizam Baksh called for peace world­wide as Mus­lims cel­e­brat­ed Eid fol­low­ing Ra­madan. Speak­ing at the Bar­rack­pore Is­lam­ic Cen­tre, he de­scribed Eid as a time to strength­en uni­ty and build “ca­ma­raderie and re­la­tion­ships” that ex­tend be­yond the Mus­lim com­mu­ni­ty.

Baksh ex­pressed con­cern over glob­al con­flicts, in­clud­ing ten­sions in­volv­ing the Unit­ed States, Is­rael and Iran, and urged lead­ers to pri­ori­tise peace over war. He said peo­ple must re­mem­ber their shared hu­man­i­ty, warn­ing that even small na­tions should re­main vig­i­lant amid in­ter­na­tion­al in­sta­bil­i­ty.

Mufti Jameel Ali en­cour­aged re­flec­tion dur­ing Eid prayers, urg­ing be­liev­ers to strength­en their con­nec­tion with God and re­mem­ber those suf­fer­ing in con­flict zones such as Pales­tine.
