You guys are making assumption without giving some food of thoughts to your brains.
Let me be clear and concise in explaining the whole fiasco.
1. How the Witnesses ends up in Qasim Ali Khan Masjid
There's a specific and Sharai procedure to follow... the witnesses aren't some rag tag druggies or criminals or miscreants. They are first presented to the local Masjid, the local Imam then calls in people from his community to get a feedback on his character etc... whether he's worthy enough in his mental condition to be called a Muslim... the elders and wise ones asks him different critical questions about the shape of the moon etc and then finally he gives an Oath on Qur'an. A slight doubt ultimately disqualifies him of being called as Witness. After immense investigation, he then is sent to make his way to Masjid Qasim Ali Khan along with the elders from the community and the Imam of that local Masjid with all the detailed information about the person his mental checks and character checks etc... this whole procedure is applied elsewhere too whoever claims he has sighted the Moon.
2. What Happened Yesterday at Masjid Qasim Ali Khan
There were 18 - 24 such persons from all across KPK presented to Ulema's... the Ulema's then forwarded their findings to the Zonal Royat Hilal Committee at Peshawar who are always linked with Central RHC... but as soon as Mufti Muneeb received the news that there are enough Witnesses that the moon has been sighted in different parts of KPK, he flaunted the news as bogus and false and went ahead to make his announcement without consulting his associates - that the moon hasn't been sighted, hence the Eid is on Monday.
3. What happened then
With such notorious attitude of Mufti Muneeb, the Ulema's at Masjid Qasim Ali Khan went on to the provincial Religious minister with their query... and when he assessed the whole situation, the decision was made in light of enough witnesses that KPK should celebrate their Eid on Sunday.
4. Why people from across Pakistan calls it a political move
Behind a doubt our people likes those mirch masala filled political news, and since the minister belongs to ANP and he made the decision on the request of Ulemas, ANP is being dragged in for no reason. What if the decision was made by PPP, PMLN, JUIF minister?
On a side note, the Met-Office reported the moon cannot be sighted on Saturday, if that was the case, then why did the RHC gather and feast on the tax payers money? Why was the whole excercise carried out if there was no chance of the Moon being sighted? They should either follow science or follow the Shariah... The RHC is confused and has no answer... on the other hand, Masjid Qasim Ali Khan has been following the Shariah way for a very long time and people tend to follow them... do they consider all of the testaments to be lies... is it that simple for those people to jeoperdize their after life by giving false testaments?
