Srinagar, Sept 05: Education Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Sakina Itoo, on Friday criticized the LG-led administration for not shifting the holiday on account of Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi (SAW), terming the decision as “playing with the emotions” of the people.
“This is totally unjust that Eid-e-Milad, a sacred occasion for Muslims worldwide, is not observed as a holiday on the correct date in J&K. What does ‘subject to appearance of the moon’ mean if it is not followed? Despite repeated requests from the elected government to shift the holiday, no action has been taken. This is playing with the emotions of the people. Such decisions should be at the helm of the elected government,” she said in a post on X.
