Organisations hold blood donation camps throughout the State on Eid-Ul-Adha
In a bid to make customs in Islam compatible to changing times and more scientific, Muslim Satyashodhak Mandal (MSM) and Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmula Samiti (MANS) joined hands to organise blood donations camps across the State, instead of sacrificing animals, on the occasion of Eid-Ul-Adha on Wednesday. “We work towards pragmatism and scientific temper. For us, social health is more important than religion or beliefs. The blood donation camp is an attempt to instil scientific temper into the minds of Muslim community members and to connect through the blood relation beyond religion and caste,” Dr. Shamsuddin Tamboli, president of MSM, said.More Related News
