Srinagar: Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi (PBUH) was celebrated with great religious fervour in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday.

The government provided all possible help - including transportation, and supply of essential services for the celebration.
One Kashmiri Observer said: "What is ironic however is that India still gets lectured on religious tolerance and its Kashmir policy by countries like China at the UN. When did the world see such visuals from Xinjiang? Or from Pakistan? Whatever the critics say, India however will continue to relentlessly follow its own ideals of secularism, liberalism and nationalism."
The largest gathering was observed at Asar-e-Sharief Hazratbal, housing the holy relic of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), on the bank of Dal Lake where thousands of devotees including men, women and Children participated in night long prayers “Shab Khawani” during which special prayers were offered on Saturday.

Soon after the first prayer of the day “Fajr” namaz was offered at the Hazratbal shrine, a priest displayed the “Moie-e-Muqadas” or Holy relic of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) before the devotees on the occasion. The devotees would have the glimpse of the holy relic after every prayer for the two days at the shrine and on the following Friday.
Similar night long prayers were also held at various places of the Kashmir Valley, including in Jenab Sahib Soura, in down town Srinagar.

Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Ministers Faroq, Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti, Omar Abdullah and several political leaders have also greeted the people on the auspicious occasion.
The authorities and the Waqab Board had made elaborate arrangements for the devotees at Hazratbal Shrine on the occasion.
