Federal Minister of Science and Technology Fawad Choudhary invited renowned clerics; Mufti Muhammad Muneeb ur Rehman and Mufti Shahabuddin Popalzai to sight the moon and observe its circulation.

Fawad wrote sarcastically on twitter invited head of the private moon-sighting committee at the Qasim Ali Khan Mosque Mufti Popalzai and ‘Mufti e Azam’ Mufti Muneeb ur Rehman to see ‘how easy it is to sigh the moon’.

مولانا منیب الرحمن اور شہاب الدین پوپلزئ کو دعوت بھجوا رہے ہیں کہ وہ تشریف لائیں اور خود دیکھیں کہ چاند کیسے گردش کرتا ہے اور سائنسی طور پر کیوں یہ انتہائ آسان ہے کہ چاند کے اصل مقام کا تعین ہو سکتا ہے اور اس کیلئے بہت پاپڑ بیلنے کی ضرورت نہیں ۔۔

He claimed that it wasn’t much difficult to locate the moon, and advanced technology made it much easier.

Earlier, Islamic clerics and Fawad Choudhary have been involved in the exchange of words since the beginning of Ramadan, where the moon sighting issue first intersected both sides.
