BAKRID will be celebrated on Saturday, 07 June 2025 by Muslims. I request Muslim Citizens of India to avoid ‘ANIMAL SLAUGHTER’. For that matter—Animal Sacrifice for any religion shall be totally discouraged. It was a Pagan custom. Islam is the only ‘ABRAHAMIC’ religion that indulges on this. ‘QURBANI’ for religion of a defenceless animal is cruel and equivalent to ‘MURDER’.

INDIA: (GOI, SWARAJYA, VISHWAMITRA, HINDU POST).

WORLD:

A.    Russia has dismissed recent Pakistani media reports as fake, which claim that Moscow is expanding economic ties with Islamabad, including plans to jointly set up steel mills in Karachi.

B.     Russian forces have accelerated their territorial advances in Ukraine in recent weeks, even in the midst of U.S.-brokered peace negotiations.

Germany pledged new military support this week that will enable Ukraine to produce more long-range missiles in its own territory.
