On Sunday evening, in Patna, Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar hosted a grand Iftar party. Despite the boycott from seven Muslim religious organizations, the event saw many attendees. The party took place at the Chief Minister's residence in Patna, with a strict ban on carrying cameras and mobile phones.
The Influx of Attendees at the Iftar Celebration
Former minister Monzoor Hasan was seen at the CM’s residence attending the Iftar, expressing his views to Aaj Tak, "Nitish Kumar has done incredible work for Muslims. My association with Prashant Kishor is a thing of the past. If Nitish calls, I will return to JDU."
The boycott's impact was visible, as no religious leaders from the involved organizations attended the event. Attendees were primarily political figures linked to the state. Most were JDU's Muslim leaders and workers.

RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed supported the religious groups' decision, claiming JDU is adopting double standards toward Muslims.
