Give reply to the memo on religious grounds. They will have to accept and close the matter. There is no reply for your query many persons missed office but memo is served only to me. It is not relevant.

Since the question is about defiance of orders of the authrities and absence without permission even on when specifically ordered, which is a misconduct, you could have obtained prior approval of the competent authority for exemption from attendance on holiday. Authorities would definitely have taken care of your request on the ground of sacred religious custom of the Muslims.
Now the only alternative is to beg for the pardon of the authority concerned with appropriate description of the need of your participation in the religious custom with the assurance to be cautious for the future.

If is suitable to you then after giving it a careful thought you in gentle tone include that many employees did not attend office.......
However you should reply under proper acknowledgement.
