Nitish Govt Faces Criticism: Hindu Holidays Reduced, Muslim Holidays Increased| Oneindia

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) criticized Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for allegedly reducing the number of school holidays during Hindu festivals while increasing those for Muslim festivals.

Reports suggest the Bihar education department's 2024 holiday calendar eliminated Hartalika Teej and Jitiya holidays while extending Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha (Bakrid) holidays to three days each.

BJP MP Sushil Modi accused the government of an "anti-Hindu" stance, prompting Union Minister Giriraj Singh to claim it was operating on "Islamic religious beliefs." The move sparked outrage, with calls for reinstating Hindu festival holidays.

Gaza Eid Prayers Amid Rubble As Starvation Grows | SHOCKING Footage From Gaza’s Eid Celebration

This Eid al-Adha, Gaza's displaced families prayed in rubble, lacking food, shelter, and hope. With mosques and homes destroyed, celebrations faded into grief. Nine civilians were killed while seeking aid, and famine threatens nearly all of Gaza. Children fear warplanes, not joy. As Israel continues its military operations, and the UN warns of starvation, Gazans mark Eid with mourning, not festivity. Over 54,000 have died, mostly women and children. The war, ignited on October 7, 2023, rages on—leaving Gaza broken, hungry, and unheard. #gazaeid #eidinrubble #palestinianstruggle #gazastarvation #warzoneeid #israelpalestineconflict #gaza2024 #eidunderfire #humanitarianaid #gazawarcrisis #eidprayersgaza #unwarnsfamine #refugeecampsgaza #rafahviolence #khanYounisattack #gazachildren #nofoodnogaza #gazahealthministry #gazahumanrights #eidmourning Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.178~ED.346~

The Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for a series of coordinated attacks across 39 locations in Balochistan, targeting police stations, military convoys, and major highways.
