Mumbai: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar hosted an iftar party in Mumbai’s Marine Lines, where he spoke about India’s cultural diversity and cautioned against threats to Muslims amid the ongoing controversy surrounding Aurangzeb’s grave.

Addressing the gathering at Marine Lines during Ramadan, Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP-Ajit Pawar), reaffirmed the nation’s strength in unity. “India is a symbol of unity in diversity. We should not fall into the trap of divisive forces,” he stated.

Pawar highlighted the significance of celebrating festivals together, emphasizing that recent and upcoming occasions like Holi, Gudi Padwa, and Eid teach the values of coexistence. “We should all celebrate together because unity is our real strength. I want to assure you that your brother Ajit Pawar is with you,” he added, expressing solidarity with the Muslim community.

Speaking about Ramadan, he said the sacred month transcends religious boundaries and embodies values of humanity, sacrifice and self-discipline. He stressed that fasting during Ramadan not only purifies the body but also fosters compassion for the underprivileged.

Pawar’s Warning At Iftar Party

Pawar also issued a stern warning against communal tensions. “Anyone who tries to intimidate our Muslim brothers and sisters, create conflict between communities, or take the law into their own hands will not be spared,” he declared.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is considered the holiest period for Muslims. During this time, followers observe fasting from dawn to dusk, a practice known as Roza, which is one of Islam’s five pillars. It promotes self-restraint, devotion, and spiritual reflection.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra has been witnessing heated political discussions over the Nagpur violence, which erupted following the Mahayuti government’s demand to remove Aurangzeb’s grave from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar.

In Nanded, Maharashtra, Bajrang Dal goons have threatened Muslims with weapons in the area so that Muslims do not sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, which is a threat to the state’s atmosphere and there is also a fear of communal violence. In such a situation, the police and administration should take strict action to maintain law and order and curb the miscreants because terrorism by Bajrang Dal goons is on the rise here.

To ensure law and order in the Degulur taluka of Dharmabad district of Nanded district of the state, state Chief Minister and Police Chief DGP have been demanded by MLA and Samajwadi Party leader Abu Asim Azmi to take action against sectarians and miscreants. Azmi has made a serious allegation that Bajrang Dal workers are patrolling the Dharmabad area with weapons and are threatening Muslims and trying to intimidate and spoil the atmosphere so that they do not sacrifice on Eid-ul-Adha, and Hindu extremists have warned Muslims not to sacrifice. Abu Asim Azmi has also sent a letter to the Chief Minister and DGP, demanding immediate intervention from the administration in this matter.

He has said in the letter that a local from Dharmaabad, Sheikh Lal Ahmed, has informed him about the mischief of the miscreants. He has alleged that the miscreants of Bajrang Dal are instructing not to offer sacrifices on Eid-ul-Adha and are also threatening Muslims. He said that the terrorism of Bajrang Dal and RSS should be banned and action should be taken against those who spoil the environment so that peace and security is maintained in Dharmaabad on Eid-ul-Adha. Azmi has appealed that strict police security arrangements be made in Dharmaabad on Eid-ul-Adha so that social harmony is maintained and Muslims can celebrate their festival peacefully.

Mumbai: The Mumbai GauSeva Ayog has withdrawn its controversial order to keep cattle markets closed from June 3 to June 8 until Eid-ul-Adha. It has only said that it should be ensured that there is no slaughter of prohibited animals during the sacrifice. After a meeting of Muslim representatives along with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister had issued an order to withdraw the circular, after which the Gau Seva Ayog has withdrawn its controversial circular and order. This circular had said that animal markets in all districts of the state should be closed till June 8 to prohibit cow slaughter on Eid-ul-Adha. Muslims opposed this and during the meeting of Muslim representatives, the Chief Minister had announced the withdrawal of this order. Therefore, the GauSeva Ayog has officially withdrawn the circular and instead issued a new circular, which has lifted the ban on animal markets. Along with this, strict implementation of the cow slaughter law has also been demanded.

The state government is responsible for implementing the cow slaughter law and the police and administration are ready for it, but after the GauSeva Aayog issued such a controversial circular, Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Rais Sheikh had declared it illegal and said that the circular issued is completely illegal and controversial, while the Aayog has no authority to issue orders, it can only make recommendations. In such a situation, after the order of the Chief Minister, now animal markets will continue during the sacrifice period and there is no ban on the market of buffaloes including goats, therefore Muslims have been appealed not to pay attention to rumors.

Deonar Slaughterhouse General Manager Kaleem Pathan also said that the Deonar Goat Market will continue and the order issued by the Gau Seva Aayog has been withdrawn, so the public should not pay attention to rumors about the Deonar Goat Market. He said that along with the facilities in the Goat Market in Deonar, arrangements have been made for the convenience of buyers. Along with stalls, other facilities are also available here. He said that more than 150,000 goats have arrived in the Deonar Goat Market and along with this, more than 80,000 goats are left.
