Federal Minister of Religious Affairs Sardar Yousaf has said that Saudi Arabia has reduced Hajj Quota of all countries, not only Pakistan. Sardar Yousaf said in his address at a press conference, here on Tuesday that Pakistan has requested to Saudi Arabia for giving complete immunity in Hajj Quota reduction but hope of success is very least.
The government has kept sixty percent of granted Hajj quota under its custody and remaining forty percent will be distributed amongst the Hajj Tour Operators, he added. Secretary Religious Affairs informed on the occasion that the twenty percent cut in Hajj quota would cause 1.25 billion rupees' loss to Pakistan.
