Eid al-Adha, also known as the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. The day is marked by prayers, charitable acts, and the ritual sacrifice of animals, with a message of sharing and empathy at its core.
Eid al-Adha is called Id-ul-Adha in Arabic and Bakr-Id in the Indian subcontinent, because of the tradition of sacrificing a goat or 'bakri'. It is a festival that is celebrated with traditional fervour and gaiety in India. (ANI)

SIR an attempt to disenfranchise 20% Bihar voters, alleges Cong
1 2 Patna: The Congress on Thursday accused the Election Commission of attempting to disenfranchise nearly 20% of voters in Bihar under the garb of the ongoing special intensive revision of electoral rolls. Addressing a press conference in Delhi, Bihar Congress president Rajesh Kumar claimed that the EC had made up its mind to deny voting rights to large sections of the population, especially migrant workers who stay outside the state under compulsion but return home during elections to cast their votes. "It seems the EC has already made up its mind to deny voting rights to Bihar people," he said, questioning the integrity of the entire exercise. He added that people affected by floods have nothing left in their homes and are in no position to produce documents. "Every time there is a flood, their homes get submerged, and they must rebuild from scratch. Where will people living in such conditions bring proof for you?" he asked. He further alleged that the BLOs, who have been assigned the task of verifying thousands of voters, have not been provided the necessary resources to do their job properly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Krishna Allavaru, Congress's in charge for Bihar, accused the EC of acting under govt pressure. "Whenever the govt faces a crisis, its agencies begin such actions," he said. "It is strange that the very voters who elected this government are now being asked to prove their identity. By excluding Aadhaar from this voter revision process, eight crore people are being asked to submit documents they don't have," he added. Pawan Khera, chairman of the party's media and publicity department, described the entire exercise as a move to delete voters' names before the upcoming elections. "The EC's decision is to disenfranchise people, which we strongly oppose," Khera said, linking the timing of the revision drive to a recent opinion survey. "The process was launched just as a new survey showed a surge in popularity for the INDIA bloc and our leader Rahul Gandhi," he said.

'Rahul Gandhi Can't Be Witness Against Himself': Court In Defamation Case
New Delhi: A court in Pune has rejected a petitioner's request to get a copy of a book which Congress MP Rahul Gandhi cited during a speech in March 2023, which led to the filing of a defamation case against the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Satyaki Savarkar, the grand nephew of Vinayak Savarkar, filed the petition in a special MP/MLA court in Pune seeking a copy of the book which Mr Gandhi used while attacking Vinayak Savarkar. The court, however, rejected the petition, saying the "accused cannot be compelled to be a witness against himself, nor can he be compelled to produce incriminating material against him." The court said the trial has not yet started, so the defence cannot be compelled to disclose documents. "... The burden of proof lies entirely on the complainant. The accused is presumed to be innocent until proven guilty. If the application is allowed, it would cause serious prejudice to the accused's right to a fair trial and his right to defend himself effectively," judicial magistrate first class Amol Shriram Shinde said in the order. "Forcing the defence to prematurely disclose defence materials is neither permitted under criminal procedure nor compatible with constitutional guarantees. It would violate the constitutional right provided under Article 20(3) of the Constitution," the court said. The defamation case against Mr Gandhi alleged he had on several occasions maligned Vinayak Savarkar, and one particular incident in March 2023 during a speech in the UK crossed the limit. As per Article 20(3) of the Constitution, no person accused of any offence shall be compelled to be a witness against himself, the court said. "Therefore, this court is of the opinion that an order cannot be passed directing the accused to file the incriminating documents. The documents in question are incriminating in nature and are sought to be produced against the accused. "The accused cannot be compelled to be a witness against himself, nor can he be compelled to produce incriminating material against him. Hence, the application filed by the complainant is liable to be rejected and is accordingly rejected," the court said.
