Across India, Eid-ul-Fitr was marked with prayers, gatherings and festive meals on Saturday. But in Kintur village in the Badosarai area of Uttar Pradesh, the day passed without the usual celebrations. For the Shia community UP’s Kintur village, Eid ul-Fitr this year was observed in silence. (ANI) For the Shia community here, this Eid was observed in silence. The reason lies far beyond the village, in Iran, where the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in airstrikes by the United States and Israel on March 1 has left a deep emotional impact on Shia Muslims in particular. Mourning instead of celebration Rather than festivities, residents chose restraint. The usual celebrations of Eid-ul-Fitr, sweets, greetings, and family gatherings were missing, news agency PTI reported. Sarwar Ali, caretaker of the 19th-century Waqf Nawab Amjad Ali Khan Imambara, described how the day unfolded and said, “Shia families observed no festivities this year. They did not prepare ‘sewaiyaan’ (sweet vermicelli) at home or embrace each other; they only offered the congregational prayers. A protest demonstration was carried out peacefully.” People …

PM Narendra Modi (Image file: PMO/PTI) The death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on March 1, 2026, has now triggered a deeply political debate at home. The opposition has demanded that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government issue a formal condolence statement on Khamenei’s assassination by the American-Israeli forces. No less than Congress leader Sonia Gandhi has written an article accusing the government of picking a side in the conflict. Critics of the opposition argue that when Muammar Gaddafi was killed in 2011 during a NATO-backed operation, the UPA government did not issue any high-profile political mourning statement.

Yet there was no moral grandstanding, no domestic political storm. US-Israel-Iran War News Today LIVE The same question is being raised about the execution of Saddam Hussein in …
