Senator Talha Mehmood, Federal Minister for Religious Affairs, stated that the government is considering Hajj by ferry and road in order to provide maximum help to Pakistani pilgrims.
According to reports, he stated that the Religious Ministry had repaid Rs 4.5 billion to Hajj pilgrims for the first time this year and was in the process of returning over Rs 2 billion more. The convention participants believed that the Hajj 2023 was the most transparent and scandal-free Hajj in the country’s history.
The minister committed that the services in the forthcoming Hajj programme would be improved and that efforts would be made to reduce costs. “I performed Hajj as a common man and keenly observed the pilgrims’ problems, and I will try to resolve the same with the Almighty’s blessings,” he continued.
Journalists and media workers, like other organizations, should be included in the Hajj quota system, he said, promising to take concrete steps in this direction. “Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman genuinely cares about Pakistan.” “I found him to be very emotional about Pakistan,” said the minister.
