Ramzan celebrated across Belagavi, Vijayapura

Id-ul-Fitr celebrated with joy and unity in Belagavi and Vijayapura, promoting communal harmony and social service.

Id-ul-Fitr was celebrated with joy and fervour across the Belagavi and Vijayapura region on Monday.

In Vijayapura, religious preacher Syed Tanveer Peera Hashmi of Ahle Sujji Jamaat Karnataka delivered a lecture in the Dakhani Idgah.

He called upon believers to celebrate the festival along with their Hindu brothers and sisters.

“Let us invite them with love and affection to our houses. Let us celebrate the festival with joy. Let us forget the attempts by vested interests at creating hatred and division among us,” he said.

He praised Lord Basavanna as a proud son of the soil who is a guiding light for the world. “We should all read his Vachanas and understand them. They preach principles to lead a simple and noble life,” Hashmi said.

“India is our country and we are proud of its heritage. We should all be proud of its multi-cultural heritage and the rich tradition of communal harmony. We should all develop devotion towards the Constitution and its tricolour,” he said.

He urged youth to remain engaged in religious activities and social service. He called upon the community members to send their boys and girls to school and college.
