PESHAWAR: The local Ruet-e-Hilal Committee in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), chaired by clerics of Peshawar’s Masjid Qasim Ali Khan, has announced Eid-ul-Fitr on Sunday.
The clerics told they received as many as 56 testimonies of sighting the moon from all over the province.
Surprisingly, the infamous Mufti Shahabuddin Popalzai of Masjid Qasim Peshawar remained missing from the Eid scene. He had reportedly fled to Dubai and media attained a print out of his ticket.
An official from the Ministry of Religious Affairs said, “We have no clue who or why sent him to Dubai,” while hinting that he may leave for Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah.
