Muslims across the country thronged places of worship to celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, the “festival of sacrifice”, with calls for the de-escalation of ethnic rhetoric dominating political campaigns.
They also raised concerns over the high cost of living, the fuel prices, negative effects of the proposed Finance Bill 2026 and inflammatory statements by politicians.
Muslims thronged mosques and open fields for prayers, after which a sermon exhorting prophet Ibrahim’s virtues and the need to share meals with the less fortunate was given.
