KP govt's decision regarding Eid is inappropriate: Fawad Chaudhry.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry has on Tuesday said that the decision of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr today is inappropriate.
The federal minister maintained that the decision caused humiliation and gave a perception that lies are supervised by the state itself. He affirmed that it was not possible to sight the moon on Monday.
“The government does not get itself involved in sects and local disputes, people are free to celebrate Eid but a religious festival should not be based upon lies.
“Even Luqman al-Hakeem had no cure for ignorance. The issue of moon sighting will also be resolved eventually as the innovations of printing press, railway and loud speaker were accepted after years.
“We should analyze that how far we have left behind from those countries which got freedom with us.
“Societies develop under the leadership of contemporary minds and hopefully the literate class will not remain silent over the matter. We have to reject backward mindset, and wisdom and knowledge will eventually prevail in Pakistan.”
