Muslims showered with flowers amid Holi celebrations in Seelampur
Delhi: As Holi coincided with Friday prayers this year, residents of Delhi’s Seelampur marked the occasion by showering flower petals on Muslims during their prayers near Jama Masjid. Choosing petals over colours, locals aimed to honour the sanctity of the occasion while embracing the spirit of communal harmony.
Videos of the moment captured worshippers completing their prayers as a gentle rain of flowers fell upon them, a gesture widely appreciated as a reflection of mutual respect and cultural bonds. Residents saw this as a reaffirmation of unity, highlighting the shared traditions that connect communities.
At a time of increasing social divisions, such acts of goodwill serve as reminders of the deep-rooted ethos of coexistence and harmony.

Niqab incident: Nitish Kumar perhaps revealing his true colours, says J-K CM
Srinagar (PTI): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Wednesday criticised his Bihar counterpart over the niqab incident and said that Nitish Kumar might be slowly revealing his true nature.
"Nitish Kumar, who was once considered a secular leader, may be slowly showing his true colours," Abdullah told reporters here on the sidelines of a function.
Abdullah said Kumar removing the face veil of a Muslim woman doctor was wrong and cannot be justified by any means.
"We have seen this kind of incident here several years ago. Have you forgotten how Mehbooba Mufti removed the burqa of a legitimate voter inside a polling station? That act was wrong, and this act (of Kumar) is also wrong.
"If the (Bihar) chief minister did not want to hand over the order to her (Muslim woman), they could have kept her aside. However, to humiliate her like this is totally wrong," the Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said.
Kumar stirred a huge controversy after he removed the face veil of a Muslim woman at a function earlier this week.
