Islamabad: The federal government Monday decided to extend 10 days for receiving Hajj applications.
Talking to the media in Islamabad, Religious Affairs Minister Aneeq Ahmed said that the date for submission of Hajj applications under the government scheme has been extended.
He stated that both regular and sponsor schemes are extending the duration. Despite the low-cost package compared to last year, the reason for less number of applications is the lack of affordability for the people.
Earlier, in the meeting of the Senate Standing Committee, the officials of the Ministry of Religious Affairs said that the Hajj expenses have been reduced by Rs100,000.
Abdul Ghafoor Haideri said that efforts to provide more relief to the pilgrims are underway. A sub-committee has also been set up to meet the caretaker prime minister.
On the other hand, the Senate Standing Committee on Religious Affairs also approved a unanimous resolution to stop atrocities in Gaza.
Maulana Abdul Ghafoor Haideri, chairman of the committee, stated that it is necessary to prosecute Israel and its supporters for war crimes. He also demanded that Israel and its supporters be punished by the International Court of Justice.
