Bakr-eid today: RSS’s Muslim unit plans to cut goat-shaped cake

At their homes, the Manch workers will not cook biryani. Instead, they will offer sewaiyan and dahi vada to their friends.

Awadh Prant convener of the Manch, Raees Khan, said they want to send a message to society. “Bakr-Eid can be celebrated also by cutting a cake just like people celebrate birth anniversaries,” Khan said, adding that if the practice receives good response, he will try to promote it in other prants too.

Co-convener Hasan Kausar said, “The Bakr-Eid festival spreads a message of humanity. We can sacrifice our children too for Allah but it is not right to kill a goat without any reason and eat its meat.” However, the national convener of the Manch, Mohd Afzal, was not aware about the plans of the Awadh unit.
