No holiday for Muslim employees in Rajasthan this Bakr Eid?

[The_Showstopper]

Big whoop? Sometimes duty comes before religion! Can you imagine if all the doctors(given that majority of them are Hindus) stopped working during Hindu festivals?

Changing the goal post. Are you? Even muslims have worked in hospitals or other emergency services on their festivals. That's not point here. Denying a holiday/leave to muslims(or anyone else) on their festivals is utterly wrong and Government imposing it in a democratic setup is a bigger fallacy.

There is a whole story behind it. If you want to find more about it, google search will help. The Sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (a) | Stories of The Prophets | Books on Islam and Muslims | Al-Islam.org

Not necessarily done in the open, can and should be done, in my opinion in a slaughter house . Due to the lack of space or etc, etc... Usually done in fields.
On topic: There should be a holiday. Most importantly there shouldn't be a ban on slaughtering cows, as it will promote a sense of deprivation. @jamahir , your thoughts....

with respect I believe that Islam is strong enough that it wont be weakened if we chose some other smaller animal other than a cow.

why seek and provoke violence on purpose? I am sure going for a smaller animal will keep our faith intact. I hope Indian Muslims dont play in the hands of Hindu fanatics by provoking them and then letting entire community suffer the consequences.

No holiday for Muslim employees in Rajasthan this Bakr Eid?

Jaipur, Sep 9: At a time when the controversy over 4-day meat ban in Mumbai hasn't completely ended, the BJP seems to have invited yet another row, this time in Rajasthan though. As per reports, the BJP government in Rajasthan has released a circular to celebrate the birth anniversary of Jan Sangh ideologue Pt Deen Dayal Upadhyay on Sep 24. The government has directed the colleges and schools in the state to be present in a blood donation campaigns in all government and private colleges on Sep 25. The celebrations are likely to coincide with the Eid-ul-Zuha or Bakr Eid celebration which might fall on either Sep 24 or 25, depending upon Moon citing. If the festival falls on 24th then national holiday of thousands of Muslims in the state will be cancelled. [4-day meat ban in Mumbai during Jain fasting period]

As per reports, the state government order dated Sep 2 directs principals of all government as well as private colleges to not grant leave to any staff member on Sep 24. Rajasthan Govt circular. The order also restrains college staff from leaving the college headquarters around the time, reports said. This move has irked Muslim groups who say the dates were likely to coincide with Eid-ul-Zuha or Bakr Eid and they are terming it a violation of human rights of Muslim employees. Eid-ul-Zuha is the biggest festival for Muslims and an official event that day would prevent thousands of Muslims from celebrating it. The opposition Congress has criticised the ruling Vasundhara Raje Government after such reports emerged. This incident has once again given ammunition to the Congress and other opposition parties to target the BJP, which is already facing criticism over banning meat sale in Mumbai for 4 days until ritual fasting of Jains comes to an end on September 18

What an uncivilized way to celebrate festivals by cutting animals, the custom of dark age in uncivilized countries.

which civilized country allow mass slaughter of animals resulting in blooded streets in front of everyone including kids ?
If someone wants to celebrate something by slaughtering an animal( if its legal) do it in your own house.

useless govt. Just boot these idiots out and be done with it.

Holiday is not being denied to all Muslims, just Muslim teachers and staffs in colleges. Why are you making it sound like that the government has removed Bakrid from the government holiday list? Which is clearly not the case!

Its become a trend now for the anti BJP bloc, still remember the ruckus over the PM convening a meeting of top bureaucrats on Good Friday.

The actions of that moron aren't 'defiance' of anything. She'll be ignored no matter what she doesn. It's like the three stooges criticizing Putin on invading Crimea.

Very well said, if it is permitted an I would defer to my knowledgeable friends like @WAJsal and you, then to avoid hurting Hindu sensibilities some other animal can be chosen, the thing to be realized is that Hindu Faith considers Cow to be sacred and insulting anyone's faith intentionally is never a good Idea. Same applies to Hindus with regards to Muslim sensibilities.

India is for everyone and tyranny of majority or minority are equally to be avoided at all cost.

Thank you for cleaning up this thread. No i totally agree with you, to promote unity Muslims try not to sacrifice Cows, understandable. But to those who want to, there shouldn't be a ban, as it will create a sense of deprivation, a dangerous scenario can be created.

Understandable, but a ban can be taken in a wrong way. All in all i agree with Irfan bhai.

Indian muslims are very different compare to Kashmiri muslims.
Look at rules violation in your occupied territory.

No one needs to get that passive. These are just attempts to see if such changes can be brought about....as with all the initiatives tried by the RSS this will also fizzle out uder criticism. Meat ban in Mumbai has flopped, ban on beef has become a joke on ground, no more 'Ghar Wapsi' taking place anywhere. Essentially they're trying to see if they can push things thorough but they've figured out it's not working.

Even hardcore bhakt like @SarthakGanguly are now reduced to comical passive aggressive defence

So why JUST muslim teachers and staff? They are not counted in emergency services either and we don't have a calamity out there, so why deny them a holiday/leave?
