New Delhi, Dec 6: Muslims today observed Muharram by taking out taziya processions, flagellating themselves and offering special prayers but the day of mourning witnessed clashes in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar resulting in injury to over 30 people.
Slogans of “Ya Hussein” rend the air as Shias took part in the ceremonial mourning commemorating the martyrdom of Prophet Mohammed’s grandson Imam Hussein with flags and replicas of Hussein’s tomb in their hands. Sunnis offered prayers, observed fasts and distributed alms on the occasion. But the religious fervour was marred by few clashes.
