Organising iftar by different embassies in the country is a tradition that has been going on for some time now. The American embassy also used to organized an Eid get-together, but since there was no iftar party from the Centre this time, the embassies of other countries in India kind of sensed Modi government’s attitude and didn’t organize any iftar. But the American embassy that would organize an Eid party held an iftar. The event took place at New Delhi’s Hotel Ashok; 80 guests were invited but more than 100 turned up. Sources say the embassy was inspired by the Sangh’s branch organization “Muslim Rashtriya Manch”, which is headed by Indresh. He had organized a big iftar party on behalf of his organization and surprised everyone.
