In his 'Sabka Saath' push in Madhya Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday attended Ashara Mubaraka - the commemoration of martyrdom of Imam Hussain - at Saifee Mosque in Indore.
Dr Syedna Mufaddal Saifuddin – spiritual head of the Dawoodi Bohra community – and Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also attended the Ashara Mubaraka event
In his address, PM Modi said Imam Hussain had raised his voice against injustice in the society and this is an important message for the world today.
"We consider the world as one family, we believe in the tradition of taking everyone along. This strength of the Indian society and its legacy is what sets us apart from the rest of the world," the PM stated.
"We are proud of our past, have faith in our present, confident about a better future," the PM said further, while noting his old links with the Bohra community.
"Ayushman Bharat Yojana has come as a saviour for about 50 crore poor people of the country. It will ensure free medical treatment worth Rs 5 lakhs in one year. The trial of this scheme is underway," he added.
Ashara Mubaraka is dedicated to the remembrance of the Prophet Mohammed and his Ahle Bayt (family and kin), specifically his grandson Imam Husain. It basically refers to a period of 10 days at the beginning of the Islamic year. The tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, known as Ashura marks the day on which Imam Husain was killed along with his family members.
