Government’s new Hajj policy (2014) has been challenged in the Lahore High Court.
An application was filed today in the LHC in which the petitioner raised objections over allotment of quota to private Hajj operators and government’s Hajj fares.
He stated that under government scheme the Hajj package will cost over Rs 2, 72,000 for those travelling from Punjab and KPK but the private operators are charging over Rs.500,000.
The LHC has summoned Attorney General of Pakistan for assistance in the matter.
Over 143,000 Hujjaj will perform Hajj this year under the new Hajj policy announced in April this year.
