KARACHI: Chairman Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman Wednesday warned Ghulam Ahmed Bilour to stay away from mischief and allow him to stay quiet.

Talking to our sources while responding the allegations leveled by Bilour, he said it is political custom everywhere to make friends; but, Ghulam Ahmed Bilour is out seeking enemies, adding the 95 percent people of the country and even their ministers offered Eidul Fitr prayers in accordance with the central Ruet-e-Hilal.

Mufti Muneeb-ur-Rehman said Awami National Party (ANP) should understand that most of even their members rejected the decision of Mufti Shahabud Din, adding had President or the PM been in the country, they would have celebrated Eidul Fitr in accordance with the decision taken by the central Ruet-e-Hilal.

He said the shop at Masjid Qasim Khan should be shut down.

Commenting on the statement of Ghulam Ahmed Bilour, Mufit Muneeb said he is the remnant of Islam and he opposed every un-Islamic measure by Pervez Musharraf, adding the ANP people are in themselves the remnants of Musharraf.

Mufti Muneeb said Mufit Shahab should be made the leader of the ANP, adding no single scholar of Pakistan can decide on one witness.

He wondered if the ANP think the 170 million Pakistanis are with Qadiyanis.

Earlier, Federal Minister for Railways and the leader of Awami National Party (ANP), Ghulam Ahmad Bilour calling Mufti Munibur Rahman as the remnant of Musharraf, demanded dissolution of the existing central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee and suggested the appointment of Mufti Shahabuddin Popalzai of Masjid Qasim Ali Khan as the new chairman.

Addressing a press conference here, he said it was our wish that there should be one Eid all across the country along with Makkah and Madina. He said that he has no personal differences with Mufti Munibur Rahman, but since Mufti sahib’s ascending to chairman slot, he could not ensure unanimous observance of Ramazan and Eid on one day. He said that he was the worshipper of God and not the worshipper of his nationality, but he loves his nation.

He further said he didn’t mean to hurt anybody and added, “Eid is not a political, but religious issue and he supported Masjid Qasim Ali Khan’s decision on the basis of evidences.”

End.

Reader Comments:

If all muslims can perform Hajj on the same day, they can synchronise the religious calendar by following Makkah and Madinah.

Three Eids in Pakistan sounds like a very bad joke!

The higher elevation of KP may have something to do with the sighting of the moon there earlier than the rest of the country; anybody remembers this committee using an aeroplane in the 1950s to sight the moon?
