A petition has been filed before Lahore High Court challenging Hajj Policy-2011 and discriminatory allotment of Hajj quota. The Travel Shop (Pvt) Limited and 12 other Hajj tour operators filed the petition through their counsel Muhammad Azhar Siddique, praying to the court to direct issuance of the quota on merit.
They alleged that the ministry of religious Affairs allotted Haj quota 2011 to private tour operators on the basis of personal liking and political influence. They complained that they wrote many times to ministry of religious affairs to provide details of the policy but it was neither provided nor advertised.
The petitioners said that five notifications have been issued as per the policy, which are based on mala-fide intentions. They pleaded the court to declare Hajj Policy 2011 illegal to the extent of private tour operators.
