Eid celebration in Pakistan has been marred with the two Eid controversy, yet again, this year.
So, it’s that time of the year again. When Muslims all around the world celebrate the end of Ramazan with Eid. The festival of everything colorful and sweet
For the past few years celebrating Eid is kind of a funny story in Pakistan
In the same country, we celebrate not one but two Eids kyun ke gee khushi hee bari hoti hai humain. We eat and eat and eat. And sleep and sleep and sleep.
This time, in order to have one united Eid, Mufti Popalzai (the man behind two Eid theory) was sent to Dubai

And the rest of the country started celebrating it a day later
Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating it today. Except the 0.0092% of Pakistani population in Peshawar.

Whether it’s one Eid or two, you’re celebrating today or did it yesterday, Mubarak ho aapko aur khush rahieye
Amidst all the celebration, people haven’t forgotten the tragedies in Bahawalpur, Parachinar and Quetta
I don't remember a more tragic Eid in my lifetime than this one.
Or may be I have short memory.
Allah have mercy on Pakistan— Khalid Munir (@Khalid_Munir) June 25, 2017
Hope you’re having a happy, safe Eid with your loved ones. Remember others in your prayer.
