Cost Comparisons Between 2019 and 2018
Prime Minister Imran Khan chaired a federal cabinet meeting on Thursday according to which Hajj expenses for the northern zone would be Rs436,975 and for the southern zone would be Rs427,975.
The current prices are 60 percent more than what they were in 2018, when the pilgrims from the northern zone had to pay Rs280,000 and from the southern zone had to pay Rs270,000.
PTI Tells Reason For Package Increase
Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Secretary Mushtaq Ahmed said that the hike was owing to increase in transport and devaluation of rupee.
He also said that 184,210 people would be visiting Saudi Arabia for Hajj this year.
Shehbaz Sharif Flays Government Which Claims To Make ‘Riyasat-E-Madina’
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government for this policy.
“The party which claims to establish Riyast-e-Madina has made it difficult for people to perform Hajj pilgrimage,” said Shehbaz.
He added that Prime Minister Imran Khan was looking to earn profits through a Holy pilgrimage.
People believe Hajj is only Farz (obligatory) on those people who can afford it, so government does not have to assist anyone.
