Rejected petition Make Eid Ul Fitr a public holiday just like Christmas
Rejected on
Eid Ul Fitr marks the end of the month of fasting, known as Ramadan. This event is celebrated by Muslims all around the world similarly to how Christmas is celebrated all around the world. If Christmas, a Christian celebration, can have a public holiday to celebrate the event why not Eid? #equality
