21
The Zilhaj moon has not been sighted and Eidul Azha will fall on July 10 (Sunday), Central Ruet-i-Hilal Committee Chairman Maulana Abdul Khabeer Azad announced on Wednesday evening.
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, he said: "No testimony of the moon being sighted was received from any part of Pakistan."
Therefore, Maulana Azad said, it was decided with a unanimous consensus that Eidul Azha would be celebrated on July 10.
"May God grant the blessings of the upcoming days to the entire Islamic world and this beloved country of mine," he said.
Azad stressed that a message of unity should be taken forward. The chairman then held prayers for peace and stability in the country.

PTV announced that Saudi Arabia declared Eid el Adha on Saturday July 9. Since Pakistan is 3 hours ahead of KSA, what's the reason that they can see the moon before us.

Fawad Chaudhry has stepped back from making any announcement on which date Eid-ul-Azha will be celebrated in the country after the fall of PTI government.
Now where his science and his scientific calender / calculator has gone.
