GK Gaus, an accused in former finance minister Shah AMS Kibria murder case came under an attack inside the district jail on Saturday, the eid day. Eid-ul-Fitr, which translates to “the festival of fast breaking”, comes as a reward for those who spent the holy month of Ramadan in piety, fasting and refraining from all evil activities.

Sangma said Eid-ul-Fitr “celebrates the common values that unite us in our humanity and reinforces the obligation that people of all faiths have to each other”. Parts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa also marked the first day of Eid on the same day. Meanwhile, President Mamnoon Hussain in his Eid message said that with the effective role of country’s institutions, a true democratic society based on justice, equity and equality can be established in Pakistan. The mosque loudspeakers are now announcing in Nanded that Eid 2015 will be celebrated here tomorrow i.e. Saturday July 18.

And lastly and most importantly the etiquette of Eid also includes extending congratulations and exchanging good wishes.

The leaders embraced each other as per the Muslim tradition on the occasion.

The impoverished Palestinian enclave has little to celebrate but at this traditional time of fun and parties, local people are doing what they can to ensure that Eid remains a time of celebration for the young.
