Karachi – The Hajj organizers raised their concerns regarding new Hajj policy presented by Saudi Government in the recent meetings. Since the caretaker minister Mr Aneeq Ahmed is going on a visit to Saudi Arabia, the hajj organizers wanted to make sure that the minister presents their point of view in front of Saudi Government.
The Hajj operators in Pakistan are more than 900 which has thrived into profitable business over the years. Their two to three generations have over the years engaged in the hajj business. However, Saudi Government has asked to significantly reduce the number of hajj operators as per their new Hajj Policy and vision of Saudi Government.
Mr Aneeq Ahmed have calmed the hajj operators and given a good sign that he will present Pakistan’s case in true sense since it will lead to large number of unemployment but the final decision will be of Saudi Government. Mr Aneeq Ahmed have further assured that my way of leadership is democratic and I have always allowed everyone to come and present their issues. He said he has already conducted 5-6 meetings in this matter and has clear understanding of the magnitude of loss for hajj operators. Mr Jamal Khan Chairman Central Body of Hajj Operators said we will not let anyone steal our revenue.
In the end, Mr Aneeq Ahmed assured hajj operators of his complete assistance.
