Srinagar, Mar 22:
Former chief minister and PDP president, Mehbooba Mufti, greeted people on the occasion of Ramadhan.
“Ramzan Mubarak!” Mehbooba tweeted.
Earlier Grand Mufti Jammu and Kashmir, Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam said the Ramadan 1444 A.H will begin from coming Friday.
Islam told GNS that the office had entrusted its men across all districts of Jammu and Kashmir to see if the crescent is observable at any place. “We had earlier received a ‘witness’ from Poonch, which after being put to scrutiny turned too feeble to enable us reach the decision about the start of Ramadan from tomorrow (Thursday)”, Islam said adding “Apart from that witness there was nothing significant seen anywhere.”
However, the Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee of Pakistan announced on Wednesday that the Ramazan moon had been sighted and the first of the holy month would fall on Thursday (tomorrow).
London based writer and journalist, Mirza Waheed, tweeted,
Grand Mufti had earlier said that his office has received witness’ “about sighting of moon for holy month of Ramadan 1444 A.H, though the source of the witness is under scrutiny to make any final announcement.”
