Eid-ul-Fitr is being celebrated in West Bengal along with the rest of India. On this occasion, devout Muslims joined Eid prayers at various mosques and Eidgahs in the state on Monday (March 31) morning. The biggest prayer was held on Red Road in Kolkata, attended by lakhs of devotees. In the meantime, a group of devotees held a solidarity procession demanding recognition of an independent Palestinian state. At that time, they were seen holding the Palestinian national flag.
Before the Eid prayers began in the morning, a huge procession entered Red Road in Kolkata, holding banners and slogans. More than a hundred devotees took part in the procession. Along with adults, many children also joined the procession.

A young man named Sheikh Amir, who participated in the procession, said, “Today is our happy day, a day of joy.” But we are protesting the injustice being done to our brothers and sisters in Palestine. We pray that they too can live in peace.
He said, just as we are celebrating Eid with our families at home, the Palestinians should also celebrate Eid with their families. Just as I came to pray with my child, they can also do the same.
Sheikh Amir also said, Palestinians are being subjected to severe torture and oppression. Innocent children are being killed. Isn’t this a crime? Israel should show humane treatment to children. We have taken to the streets today in solidarity with the children who lost their lives in the Israeli attack.
