(Usman Khan) Instead of sending 5,500 applicants for Hajj, the government decided to return 19,500 quotas to Saudi Arabia.
The Secretary of Religious Affairs has confirmed that the 19,500 vacant Hajj quota is being returned to Saudi Arabia and more quota can be returned if less applications are received under the private scheme.
The petitioners demand that the Ministry of Religious Affairs has not paid attention to the repeated demands of the failed petitioners, instead of returning the Hajj quota, the government should send us on Hajj.
