KPK clerics push govt to declare Eid tomorrow
P eshawar: The official Zonal Ruet-e-Hilal Committee of Peshawar has asked the provincial government of Khyber-Pakhtoonkhwa to announce Eid-ul-Fitr tomorrow.
The Zonal Committee also raised objections over the decision of Central Committee, headed by Mufti Munib-ur-Rehman, to declare Eid on Monday.
The Zonal Committee claimed receiving 18 testimonies of Shawwal moon being sighted.
Clerics have yet again failed to develop consensus over the decision to celebrate Eid on a single day across the country.
The Meteorological Department had earlier ruled out the possibility of moon’s sighting anywhere in the country.
Chief Meteorologist Tausif Alam said there was no possibility of sighting the Shawwal’s moon in Asia, including Pakistan
But residents of Waziristan marked Eid today after local clerics’ committee announced that Shawwal moon had been spotted in the tribal area on Friday.
