NWFP govt for observing Ramzan, Eid with Saudis
PESHAWAR: The NWFP government has suggested the federal government observe Ramzan and Eid on the same dates as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain told reporters that in a meeting of the Zonal Ruet-e-Hilal Committee, NWFP Chief Minister Amir Haider Khan Hoti urged clerics to create consensus among the people on Eid and fasting.

The suggestion was tabled in the meeting that the federal government should be proposed to observe Eid and Ramadan with Saudi Arab, so that the tradition of two Eids could be once and for all eliminated.

NWFP Religious Affairs Minister Nemroz Khan and officials of the Auqaf Department also attended the meeting. The suggestion was tabled in the meeting that the federal government should be proposed to observe Eid and Ramzan with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

He said fasting and Eid on common single day all over the country was a sign of national unity and brotherhood. He said the government and clerics should work to help the people not fell prey to any confusion.

Hoti said the committee represented the province and had been formed for collective decisions on religious and Islamic festivals, adding that the decision where the moon was sighted or not rested with the committee.

The CM also issued directives to give representation to revered clerics of all factions to help the committee work effectively. Hoti wished that the problem of dual calendars for Ramzan and Eids should vanish forever. staff report
