Srinagar, Jammu & Kashmir — As the festive season approaches, Syed Basharat Hussain, a prominent socioeconomic and political activist, has issued an impassioned plea to shopkeepers and market vendors across Jammu & Kashmir. Hussain, known for his advocacy on behalf of the common people, has called for a concerted effort to keep prices as low as possible, particularly during religious and cultural celebrations.
In a heartfelt message, Hussain highlighted the ongoing issue of price hikes that seem to accompany every festival, placing undue burden on ordinary citizens. “We all witness that during every festival, prices skyrocket,” he remarked. “This is especially true for essential items like meat, chicken, vegetables, bakery goods, and garments.

Eid al-Adha Message
In his message, Hussain extended warm wishes to the Muslim community for Eid al-Adha and to non-Muslims for a joyous holiday. “I convey my heartfelt greetings to all my Muslim brothers and sisters on the occasion of Eid al-Adha,” he said. “To our non-Muslim friends, I wish you a great holiday ahead. Stay healthy and safe, and let us celebrate Eid as simply as possible, focusing on helping those who need our support.”
Emotional Appeal for Community Support
Hussain’s call to action is not just about economics; it’s about fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility. “In times of celebration, it is easy to forget those who struggle,” he noted. “By keeping prices low, we can ensure that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can partake in the joy and spirit of the festival. It’s a small act of kindness that can make a big difference.”
Hussain’s plea is expected to resonate deeply with many in the region, where economic disparities can be stark and the cost of living continues to rise. His message is a reminder of the power of community and the importance of looking out for one another, especially during times of celebration.
