Sartaj Aziz finally reveals the source of controversial Eid-moon-sightings in Pakistan...
CM Sindh is still struggling with recalling names…
Imran Khan has some more startling evidence to share and announcements to make…
The PM finally made an appearance in the parliament...
Bhai isn’t in such a good mood, though…

And that angry guy is still informing us about the continuing hidden conspiracies against our culture…

Somehow he forgot to include a quintessential Moon Sighting Mullah, officially in charge of such affairs!
It could've been even funnier!

Mr.Paracha your book is not available in Flipkart of Amazon in India. We have to get it from Amazon, US. Its very expensive - works to over 4,500/- rupees. Please give Eid discount of 75% to Indian readers and enlist it in Flipkart please. We are visiting Dawn only for you. Also would like to see you engage in a hot debate with our Arnab Goswami of Times Now. Please announce the interview in advance so all of us can watch without missing it.
