Federal Science Minister Fawad Chaudhry has sighted the moon of Ramzan even before the meeting of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee on April 13.
The minister took to his Twitter account to announce that the moon will be sighted clearly on April 13 in Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, and Karachi. First Ramazan will be on April 14.
Notably, the first meeting of the Ruet-e-Hilal Committee (moon sighting committee) under new chairman Moulana Abdul Khabir Azad is still due.
رمضان کا چاند 13 اپریل کی شام کو لاہور،اسلام آباد،پشاور سمیت کئ دیگر شہروں میں واضع طور پر دیکھا جاسکے گا اور چودہ اپریل کو پہلا روزہ ہو گا۔ خدا یہ رمضان سب کیلئے رحمت اور برکت کا باعث کرے آمین https://t.co/d0DXRoRQaw

However, the minister stepped up and made an important announcement about the moon that had been a bone of contention between him and ex- Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Muneeb-ur-Rehman.
