Minority affairs minister Najma Heptulla on Saturday said she would not celebrate Eidul-Adha this year, in view of the recent floods in Jammu and Kashmir and the stampede in Patna, the Indo-Asian News Agency reported.
In a statement, Heptulla also said that she will donate the money meant to be spent on Eid to the Prime Minister's Relief Fund.
The unprecedented floods which ravaged Jammu & Kashmir killed 315 people, 81 of them in the Kashmir valley and 234 in the Jammu region, while at least 33 people were killed following a stampede in Patna on Friday after Dussehra celebrations.
