Eid-ul-Fitr 2025 is being celebrated with great enthusiasm across India, with Muslims gathering for prayers at mosques and Eidgahs. In cities like Patna, Lucknow, Sambhal, and Bhopal, thousands of people came together to offer Eid prayers, exchanging greetings and wishes for peace and prosperity. Patna’s Gandhi Maidan saw a massive turnout of around 25,000 worshippers, while in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh, prayers were conducted peacefully in the Chandausi Eidgah. From the streets of Jaipur to the mosques of Tamil Nadu, the atmosphere was one of unity and celebration. However, this year’s celebrations also coincided with growing political tension surrounding the Waqf Amendment Bill. Amid the joy, some Muslim organizations and political parties, including the RJD, have expressed strong opposition to the bill. Posters have appeared in Patna calling for the cancellation of the Waqf Bill, and some protesters even wore black armbands while offering prayers. The bill, which deals with the regulation of Waqf properties, has sparked concerns among Muslim leaders who argue that it unfairly targets the community. Despite these tensions, security arrangements have been tight, with flag marches conducted in sensitive areas like Sambhal, ensuring a peaceful Eid celebration across the nation.

00:12Last night, Eid's moon was seen.
00:15And after that, the wait was over and the process of congratulating each other began.
00:20People are gathering in Jama Masjid to offer prayers on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr 2025.
00:27Pictures will also come out.

01:26and Prime Minister Narendra Modi wished the people of India a happy Eid.
01:30There are strict security arrangements for Eid all over the country.
01:33And from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh to Sambhal, the police also launched a flag march.
01:37At the same time, the atmosphere of peace and harmony was seen everywhere.
01:44You saw the pictures of how Eid celebrations are being celebrated everywhere in the country.
01:49But on one hand, there is the celebration of Eid.
01:51Prayers are being offered for the development of the country.
01:53Prayers for peace and harmony are being offered.
01:55But one reason for Eid is also that
01:57when everyone's eyes are on Muslim organizations and many Muslim politicians along with Eid prayers.
02:03Because they had appealed to the people
02:05that they should tie a black bandage and offer Eid prayers to show opposition to the Waqf-e-Sanshodhan Bill.
02:10You are also seeing two pictures of that.
02:12Here, prayers were offered in a peaceful manner.
02:18On the last Friday of Ramadan, you will remember the pictures of 28th March
02:21when prayers were offered in many parts of the country.
02:24And the effect of that appeal is still visible today.
02:26In many places, Eid prayers were offered with a black bandage.
02:30Two pictures are of Jama Masjid in Delhi
02:32where a large number of people came to offer prayers.
02:35And among them, you can see many people who came with a black bandage on their arms.
02:41Let's talk about Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh
02:47where Eid prayers are being offered in a peaceful manner.
02:49The government has made strict arrangements for security.
02:52On this occasion, let's listen to a special interview
02:54of the MP of the Socialist Party, Zia-ur-Rehman,
02:56and ABP News correspondent, Balram Pandey.
03:02What would you like to say?
03:03I wanted to say that it is better to offer prayers.
03:06Anyway, today is the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr.
03:08We have come to offer prayers on Eid.
03:10We would like to congratulate everyone by offering prayers.
03:13Eid is a festival of our unity.
03:15And it is a message of brotherhood.
03:18After fasting in Ramadan, Allah gives us a chance
03:21to thank Allah with happiness.
03:24How did Allah give us this opportunity today?
03:27We would like to offer prayers and congratulate everyone.
03:30What would you like to say about the Vakt-e-Sansodhan bill?
03:33We are already in opposition to the Vakt-e-Sansodhan bill.
03:36Our party, Aqla-e-Shahadaf, has also opposed it.
03:39And we are still in opposition to it.
03:41We will continue to oppose it in the parliament.
03:45And if it is necessary, we will knock on the door of the court for it.
03:49But the way it was appealed to tie a black bandage on the arms
03:53and go to offer prayers,
03:56we are not able to see such pictures in Samhal.
04:00You also did not tie a black bandage on your arms.
04:02Look, the bandage that was announced
04:04was especially for Jumat-ul-Widah.
04:06On the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr,
04:08no such statement was made.
04:10It was definitely made for Jumat-ul-Widah.
04:13But those who have tied a black bandage on their arms or not,
04:19it is not like that.
04:20In opposition to the Vakt-e-Sansodhan bill,
04:22the entire Muslim community is in opposition.
04:25Because they know that this bill is to suppress them.
04:27But the last question to you.
04:29Do you oppose the Vakt-e-Sansodhan bill?
04:32Yes, we strongly oppose the Vakt-e-Sansodhan bill.
04:34We opposed it the day we tried to bring it in the Sadan.
04:38And now when it will be brought,
04:40we will oppose this bill with full strength.
04:44And now let's get to know the latest updates.
04:47From the morning, the pictures of prayers are coming in front.
04:51Everyone is celebrating Eid peacefully.
04:54Let's go straight to our correspondents,
04:57who are present in different cities at the moment.
04:59From Samhal, Balram Pandey is with us.
05:01Vivek Rai has joined us from Lucknow.
05:03Namrata Dubey is with us from Mumbai.
05:05Balram, what will you focus on first?
05:07Because Samhal is a very sensitive area,
05:11where the police did a flag march with peace.
05:14They appealed to everyone to celebrate Eid.
05:16And today we can see a similar scene.
05:24The way the administration,
05:26especially in Samhal,
05:27was independent,
05:28the Eid prayers were held in a peaceful manner.
05:34Now you will see the Eid prayers.
05:39The Namazis who are present here,
05:41we are trying to talk to them.
05:43How did the administration arrange this?
05:47And what will you say,
05:48how did the Eid prayers come to an end?
05:50It was very good.
05:51It was very good.
05:52The administration supported us a lot.
05:53The prayers were held in a very good way.
05:54The Namaz is being offered in a very peaceful manner.
05:56It was very good.
05:57The bill has been amended.
06:00So, do you oppose it?
06:01Do you oppose it?
06:02Because the bill has been amended.
06:04So, do you oppose it?
06:05Yes, we will continue to oppose it.
06:13And Balram, you keep an eye on it.
06:15These are very good pictures.
06:18When people are celebrating this festival with peace,
06:20harmony and happiness.
06:23And they have come out of their houses in the morning,
