Eid holidays have become contentious for some reason and people are not backing down
Just a few days ago the Pakistani government put out a statement discussing Eid holidays. It was confirmed Eid would be celebrated from Tuesday, the 21st, to Thursday, the 23rd. Which means Pakistanis will be required to go to work on Monday and Friday of next week.

Anyway, now there’s a document floating around that says Eid holiday dates have been extended. This new document states, Eid would be celebrated from Tuesday, the 21st, to Friday, the 24th.
Here it is.
But, upon closer inspection, you’ll notice something off.
