On the morning of July 8, Emomali Rahmon, in his congratulatory message on the occasion of the sacred holiday of Muslims – Eid al-Adha, stated: “I emphasize that every family should prepare as much as possible for the autumn-winter season and strictly adhere to the requirements of the law of the Republic of Tajikistan on the regulation of traditions, celebrations, and rituals.”
Unlike previous years, when the President of Tajikistan limited the performance of sacrifices during this holiday according to Tajik law, this year he stated that “on the day of celebration, people with financial means perform sacrifices in the name of God.”

“I am confident that during the celebration of Eid al-Adha – this tradition of mutual support, tolerance, and generosity of mercy – our compatriots will instead of extravagant spending and ostentation perform good deeds to help those in need, orphans, and the disabled, supporting low-income families and improving the homeland,” the president added.
At the same time, 10 days ago during the visit of the President of the Russian Republic to Tajikistan, he himself displayed hundreds of kilograms of vegetables and fruits as decorations in front of Vladimir Putin at the presidential palace.
The excessive extravagance and incomparable ostentation of Emomali Rahmon before Vladimir Putin, on one hand, still provoke a wave of anger and dissatisfaction among users of the Tajik segment of social networks, while on the other hand, these unreasonable actions have disgraced an entire nation on a global level.

Moreover, Emomali Rahmon said nothing about the trip of more than 5,000 Tajik pilgrims to Saudi Arabia for Hajj, but quoted two verses from a poet:
“Delight someone’s heart, for the great pilgrimage is equal. Than thousands of Kaabas, one heart is better. The Kaaba is the creation of Khalil Ozara. And the heart is illuminated by the light of Jalil Akbar.”
Thus, he attempted to diminish the value and greatness of this important Islamic commandment.

Emomali Rahmon’s calls and threats to people that, according to him, “today residents of 27 countries are facing the danger of hunger,” will only matter when he and his government “practice frugality” regarding state funds and become a model to follow, rather than causing public discontent by spending millions on lavish celebrations and ceremonies.
