Islamabad The person who has been a minister of science and technology in Pakistan, who has the responsibility of taking the country forward in scientific direction, does not know the difference between solar eclipse and lunar eclipse.

Karachi and Lahore saw 91 per cent eclipse, while Gilgit saw the lowest coverage of only 74 per cent.
