MUZAFFARABAD (Kashmir English): People of Azad Jammu and Kashmir are celebrating the sanctified festival of Eid-ul-Fitr today (Monday) with full religious zeal and fervor along with the renewal of the pledge to continue acting upon the teachings besides upholding the supreme religion of Islam.
The day dawned with special prayers in the mosques for the stability, integrity, unity and solidarity of the Muslim Ummah, progress and prosperity of Pakistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, early liberation of all occupied Muslim homelands including Palestine and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) and for the early success of the Kashmir freedom movement.
