[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma will attend the ‘Hindu Ekta Yatra’ in Karimnagar which will be held on May 14, organised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) state president and MP Bandi Sanjay Kumar.
A Telangana BJP press release said on Friday that the BJP national general secretary and state party affairs in-charge Tarun Chugh will also attend the event. Bandi Sanay is preparing for the event likely to attract over one lakh people.
Bandi said that the aim of this yatra is to show the power of Hindu unity and appealed to people to participate in the Hindu Ekta Yatra in huge numbers.

“Working towards protecting the Hindu Dharma. Those who want to defend Hindu Dharma should participate in this yatra,” he said.
Biswa Sarma last visited Hyderabad on September 8, 2022, following which tension prevailed at Mozamjahi Market after the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) leader created a flutter by attempting to snatch the mike of Himanta Biswa at a public meeting while he was addressing an audience.
The Assam chief minister had come under sharp criticism from the opposition over his comments that madrasas in the state which were demolished recently were ‘Al-Qaeda’s’ offices when the structures were razed under the Disaster Management Act.

“India continues to be a key region of expansion for Wikimedia’s knowledge communities, with a growing number of volunteer contributors and enormous potential to expand our reader base in the country. Wikiconference India is an opportunity to celebrate our local communities and their achievements in increasing access to free knowledge across languages,” said the chief advancement officer of the foundation, Lisa Seitz-Gruwell

“Wiki Conference India stands as a testament to the power of leadership and community collaboration in advancing knowledge-sharing and creating a more informed society. Through trust building and language diversity, this conference has become a vital platform for community members to connect, collaborate and contribute to the growth of Wikimedia’s global communities,” said the lead volunteer coordinator for WikiConference Nitesh Gill.
“It is encouraging to see the sheer enthusiasm and participation of Wikimedians at WCI 2023, and I am looking forward to seeing its impact on the development of open knowledge in not only India but the broader South Asia region. I hope this conference provides the grounds needed for further community growth and engagement,” said Nivas Ramisetty, WikiConference India coordinator.
The event was co-organised with a local partner, IIIT Hyderabad and was supported by the Telangana Department of Language and Culture who arranged a cultural dance show and excursion tour.

The three-day conference which was attended by over 200 people concluded on Sunday evening. The conference explored ways to increase the access and sharing of Indian history, culture and experiences on free knowledge projects globally. Participants from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka met for the first time since 2016.
The conference provided a common platform for Wikimedians (volunteer contributors and Wikimedia Foundation staff members), invitees and stakeholders interested in Indic-language Wikimedia projects and other aspects of the movement in India and South Asia.
WCI 2023 centred around the theme of “Strengthening Bonds,” chosen to underscore the vital role of building and maintaining robust connections within Wikimedia’s open source communities. The theme was rooted in the belief that a strong support system and opportunities for cross-learning are essential for achieving collective success.

Over 2.6 million worshippers attend Makkah’s Grand Mosque on Shab-e-Qadr

[ad_1]
Riyadh: As the holy month of Ramzan nears its end, more than 2.6 million worshippers attended Qiyam Al Layl prayers at the Grand Mosque in Makkah on Monday, the 27th night of Ramzan 1444, believed to likely be Shab-e-Qadr.
The Grand Mosque and its courtyard were filled with worshippers who came to perform the Isha prayer, Taraweeh prayer, and Qiyam Al Layl.
Worshippers perform Qiyam Al Layl, a prayer that begins after midnight and ends before the dawn prayer.

Videos circulated on social media platforms showed, Grand Mosque and its courtyards were filled, with rows of worshippers spilling over to the streets of the Central Haram area.
The Saudi authorities have made meticulous security arrangements for the smooth flow of worshippers, enabling them to spend the blessed night in a very spiritual and calm atmosphere.
The General Presidency for the Affairs of the Grand Mosque and the Prophet’s Mosque said that its field teams were able to guide the worshippers as they entered through the three gates of the Grand Mosque, all the way to the upper floors to ensure order and smooth movement of worshippers.
Hundreds of thousands of worshipers also participated in the revival of Shab-e-Qadr at the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah, but no official statistics were available on their exact numbers.
What is Shab-e-Qadr?
Shab-e-Qadr, or Laylat al-Qadr, or Night of Power, is when Quran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. The exact day upon which it falls is not known but the prophet said it falls on an odd-numbered night during the last ten days of Ramzan.

The 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th and 29th nights of Ramzan may be Laylat al-Qadr, so this period is of great importance for Muslims.
