00:00Let's find out what is the situation in Lucknow. Vivek Rai is with us.
00:03Vivek, show us the pictures of Lucknow.
00:05We can see the pictures of all the people who have come together.
00:10Tell us about the situation in Lucknow.
00:15I am in Lucknow. I am in Eidgah.
00:18In Eidgah, prayers will be offered at 10 o'clock.
00:20The worshippers have started coming.
00:23And prayers will be offered at 10 o'clock.
00:25Maulana Sahib is with us.
00:27Maulana Sahib, Eid prayers will be offered at 10 o'clock.
00:30What is the situation here?
00:32In Lucknow and all over the country, Eid-ul-Fitr is being celebrated in a very good atmosphere.
00:38I would like to congratulate all the people of the country on Eid.
00:43The appeal to all is that the Islamic Centre has issued an advisory on Eid.
00:48By following it, we should reach Eidgah and mosques as soon as possible.
00:52So that everyone can offer their prayers.
00:56People are talking about the Waqf Bill in many places.
00:59Has such an appeal been made here?
01:02Today is the day of Eid-ul-Fitr.
01:04And everyone should celebrate it in a good atmosphere.
01:07And everyone is celebrating it.
01:09What is your stand on the Waqf Bill?
01:12Because it is expected that the bill will be presented this week.
01:15All India Muslim Personal Law Board and all the Muslim organizations have opposed this bill.
01:22And everyone believes that this bill is not beneficial for Waqf properties, but harmful.
01:27So the parliament should not give it a legal form based on the emotions and thoughts of Muslims.
01:35In fact, the law that is already in force in the country is more than enough for the proper management and security of Waqf properties.
01:43Thank you for talking.
01:45Because today is the day of Eid, there is no opposition today.
01:50Okay, Vivek.
01:51We can see the people here.
01:54Let's take a look again.
01:55Balram Pandey is with us.
01:57Balram, over to you.
02:02See, the Namazis are continuously coming here.
02:05The administration is also doing its best.
02:08And the effort is to ensure that the Namazis can offer their prayers peacefully.
02:14And you can see the pictures here.
02:18HDM Vandana is also with us.
02:21We will talk to her and find out what she has to say.
02:24What would you like to say, madam?
02:26The kind of preparation that has been done by the administration, especially for today's Namaz.
02:31All kinds of preparations have been made for the Namaz.
02:34Cleaning has been done.
02:35Water supply has been arranged.
02:37Mobile toilets have been installed there.
02:39The police have been mobilized.
02:41There are civil police, PAC and RRF.
02:43The magistrates have been mobilized.
02:45The local officials, who are associated with the local level, have been mobilized at all points.
02:51So, we are fully prepared to complete the Eid Namaz successfully.
02:57If we talk about it, it has been appealed against the Waqf-e-Sansodhan Bill,
03:01to tie a black bandage around the arms and offer Namaz.
03:04But we don't see such pictures here.
03:07People are coming here to offer Namaz peacefully.
03:10We don't see any opposition anywhere.
03:13We don't see any opposition anywhere.
03:15And we don't even see the black bandage around the arms that was appealed to offer Namaz.
03:20Yes, if a person is in favour of something or against something, it is their personal decision.
03:26But you can see that the security system is completely maintained here.
03:29The peace system is also maintained.
03:31And there is no opposition to anything at all.
03:34So, you can see that the administration is also completely independent here.
03:38The aim is to complete the Eid Namaz peacefully.
03:43And you can see that the Namazis are reaching here peacefully.
03:47And how has the security system been maintained?
03:49Okay, Balram, you keep an eye on it.
03:51We will keep updating you.
03:52Let's turn to Delhi.
03:53Our correspondent Ajratika is with us from Jama Masjid.
03:56Ajratika, everyone's appeal is that this Eid festival should be celebrated peacefully.
04:01And the same picture has also emerged from Delhi.
04:03Yes, some people have tied a black bandage here.
04:06But you can see that they are offering Namaz peacefully.
04:14Yes, absolutely.
04:15You can see peace and tranquillity.
04:17However, there is also opposition on the other hand.
04:20Right now, I am showing you the pictures directly from Jama Masjid.
04:23And you will see many Namazis associated with us right now.
04:27Let's pan the camera and show you the Jama Masjid.
04:30Many people have come from far and wide.
04:33They are taking pictures here.
04:38Obviously, it is the festival of Eid-ul-Fitr.
04:41It is a big day for all these Namazis.
04:45Along with that, there is also opposition.
04:47They have tied a black bandage.
04:49As Jamiat-ul-Aima-e-Hind had said, it has been followed.
04:54There is a strong opposition.
04:56It happened peacefully.
04:58What do you want to say?
04:59Are you following the same tradition?
05:02What is your name?
05:03My name is Mohammad Faiz Hassan.
05:05I am from Bihar.
05:10Ma'am, this is a peaceful protest.
05:12We have been given fundamental rights.
05:17There should be no interference.
05:19This is a time for religion.
05:22There should be only religious people.
05:25There are some provisions.
05:28Non-Muslims can also come here.
05:31But how can they see our religion?
05:34A person who has good knowledge can be a member of this.
05:39The government has said that
05:43there will be more transparency in the bill.
05:48What do you have to say in Hindi?
05:50I agree with this.
05:52Reforms are needed.
05:54According to our constitution.
05:56Are you talking in favour of the Waf Sanshodhan Bill?
05:59I am not saying what is right or wrong.
06:01But there should be a neutral.
06:03There should be reforms.
06:05According to the Statutory Committee,
06:07there should be reforms for Muslims.
06:09There are so many lands.
06:11People are trying to give a message.
06:14There is peace everywhere.
06:16The festival of Eid is being celebrated.
