Uncertainty Over The Eid Celebrations

In Pakistan every year the uncertainty prevails over the Eid celebrations as there is a difference between the date announced by the Ruet-e- Hilal Committee and Qasim Khan Mosque in Peshawar.

This divides the nation and in the same country the Eid is celebrated on different days depending upon the areas.
