Bakrid, the Muslim festival of sacrifice, will be celebrated on September 13 across Karnataka, excluding the coastal region.

The crescent moon of Dhul-Hijjah was not sighted on Friday in any parts of Karnataka. Hence, the religious heads across the state (excluding three coastal districts of Dakshina Kannada, Udupi and Uttara Kannada) declared Sunday as the first day of the last month of the Islamic calendar.

Accordingly, Eid-ul-Adha or Bakrid which is celebrated on the 10th day, will fall on September 13, the Karnataka Moon Sighting Committee said. The committee held a meeting at the office of the Karnataka State Board of Wakfs.

The Karnataka government has subsequently declared a holiday for all its offices, schools, colleges and other establishments on September 13.

The holiday declared for September 12 stands withdrawn. September 12 will be a regular working day. However, in coastal districts, the Deputy Commissioners have been authorized to take a call on public holiday.

Bengaluru, Jul 2: Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the "RSS needs to be defeated to save the country" and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are "destroying the nation".

Kharge was speaking at a KPCC program where DK Shivakumar took charge as state Congress president.

He said that the Prime Minister and the Home Minister are not ready to take accountability for any issues including China, and are instead blaming Rajiv Gandhi Foundation of getting funds from China.

"Rajiv Gandhi foundation utilized funds for the development of the nation and for the betterment of the downtrodden people," Kharge said.

"Prime Minister Modi and Shah both are destroying the economy of the nation, and their policies and plans are the reason for increasing COVID-19 situation in India," he said.

"Prime Minister and Amit Shah never listen to Opposition parties, instead they plan something and their policies are the reason for MSME losses and job losses in the country," he added.
