Ramazan in Pakistan will begin on April 14: Fawad Chaudhry
Pakistanis will break their first fast on April 14, Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said.
In a tweet on Saturday, he said that the moon of Ramazan will be sighted on April 13. “The moon will be clearly sighted in Islamabad, Lahore, Peshawar, and Karachi.”
May this Ramazan be a day of mercy and blessings for all, he added.
Earlier this week, the Pakistan Meteorological Department predicted that the Ramazan moon will be sighted on Tuesday, April 13. The sky on the day will be clear with few clouds making it easier to sight the moon.
The Ruet-e-Hilaal Committee will, on the other hand, meet on April 13 for the sighting of the moon.
