Ramadan to start from March 2nd as crescent moon not sighted
Bengaluru: The holy month of Ramadan will begin on March 2, as the crescent moon was not sighted on Friday, announced Maulana Maqsood Imran Rashadi, convener of the Central moon committee of Karnataka.
The decision was made during a meeting held at the State Wakf Board headquarters (Darul Auqaf) on Cunningham Road on Friday evening.
The meeting, chaired by Ameer Shariat Maulana Sagheer Ahmed Khan Rashadi, reviewed information about moon sightings from various states across the country, including Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttarakhand, Delhi, and all districts within Karnataka. No reports of the moon being sighted were received from any of these regions.
As a result, Taraweeh prayers will commence on Saturday, and the first fast of Ramadan will be observed on Sunday, March 2, said Maulana Maqsood Imran.
The meeting was attended by prominent religious scholars, including Mufti Iftikhar Ahmed Qasmi, Maulana Ejaz Ahmed Nadvi, Maulana Abdul Qadir Wajid, Maulana Syed Manzoor Raza Abidi, and Maulana Qari Zulfiqar Raza Noori, among others.

'I go to Parliament to create impact, not ruckus': Raghav Chadha rubbishes AAP's allegations
New Delhi (PTI): "I go to Parliament to create impact, not ruckus," said Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha on Saturday as he rejected allegations levelled against him by the Aam Aadmi Party, calling them "false" and part of a "coordinated campaign".
In a video, Chadha dismissed claims that he did not join opposition walkouts, terming the charge a "blatant lie".
He challenged his detractors to cite even a single instance where he failed to participate and said parliamentary proceedings are recorded through CCTV cameras.
Refuting another allegation that he refused to sign a motion related to the Chief Election Commissioner, Chadha said no party leader had asked him, either formally or informally, to sign it. He added that several other MPs from his party had also not signed the motion.
The MP said his focus in Parliament has been on raising public issues such as GST, income tax, air pollution in Delhi, water concerns in Punjab, public healthcare, education, railway passenger issues, menstrual health, unemployment and inflation.
Chadha said that he goes to Parliament to "create impact not ruckus" as it runs on taxpayers' money and it is his responsibility to highlight their concerns. "Every lie will be exposed," he said.
