Ramanagara: Karnataka Congress MLA Iqbal Hussain joined thousands in offering Eid-ul-Fitr congregational prayers, marking the successful completion of the sacred month of Ramadan. Speaking after the prayers, the Ramanagara legislator conveyed warm Eid greetings and highlighted the festival’s core message.
We observed a full month of rigorous fasting and concluded it today with collective prayers, Hussain said. In our supplications, we prayed earnestly for global peace, communal harmony, and well-being for every person on earth. May tranquility and serenity prevail everywhere.
However, the MLA expressed grave concern over the severe economic fallout from the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict on ordinary Indians. The war has disrupted natural gas supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, leading to acute shortages of commercial LPG cylinders.

Many hotels and eateries have been forced to shut down. Even domestic cooking gas cylinders are hard to find, leaving households in distress. Petrol and diesel prices continue to surge, severely affecting transportation, industries, small businesses, hotels, and virtually every sector of the economy.
On the political front, Hussain addressed the recent dinner meeting of first-time MLAs.
