The future of private Hajj scheme in danger?

 If I want to write the story from the introduction of the private Hajj scheme in Pakistan to the announcement of the Hajj Policy 2024, I can write a book without exaggeration. I salute the foresight of the late former Federal Secretary Vakil Ahmed Khan and Agha Qazlbash Sahib for their foresight and long-term planning. 

 Private Hajj scheme

The interesting aspect is that in the light of Saudi teachings, the Ministry of Religious Affairs had introduced the private Hajj scheme in Pakistan apparently cheerfully, although the entire structure and practical justification of the existence of the Ministry of Religious Affairs revolves around the Hajj operation. When Pakistan, like the rest of the world, In 2005, 

The future of private Hajj scheme in danger?


the process of introducing the private Hajj scheme started. I also remember his words. Few of them are in the bureaucracy. They have to give credit to the then Secretary and later Secretary who built the system of Private Hajj Scheme on a strong foundation despite many conspiracies. 


. Registration as a Private Limited from SECP, setting up a plan to obtain NOC from State Bank FBR every year is a practical example of foresight. From 2005, the small sapling of the private Hajj scheme till it became a tree should be appreciated and those who considered the private scheme from the first day as a movement to end the existence of the Ministry of Religious Affairs should also be pointed out. ?Continuous operations from 2005 to 2023, from which if the Hajj that did not take place due to Corona in 2020 and 2021 is removed. 


One gets the opportunity to closely monitor and observe all the government and private Hajj operations so far. The ups and downs of 19 years of the private Hajj scheme can be put aside.

It is not possible to compare the efforts made to facilitate the government scheme for Hajj 2024 and to lay the hooks for the private Hajj scheme, it is not my topic today.


Who benefited of the Hajj

Who benefited from 2005 to Hajj 2023 in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, take vehicles as gifts or cash offerings. How far did the officials of the private Hajj scheme representative Hope do justice and who protected the trusts and who betrayed the trusts? In today's column, it is not intended to mention the interest-free HCF fund, nor to indicate the use of Hope's resources. 



Before the Hajj operation of the private Hajj scheme 2024, there are mountains of difficulties in various ways. It is not intended to shed light on the roles of the Hajj organizers. If we talk about the different systems introduced by the Saudi Ministry of Hajj from 2005 to 2023, this also gives an idea.


 The experiments carried out so far by the Saudi Ministry of Agriculture seem to lead to the Vision 2030 of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Therefore, after many years, I have realized what effect the new experiment conducted by Saudi authorities every year has on Pakistan or other countries? They do not care about it. Hajj was started by Saudi authorities in 2023.


What happened to the public and private Hajj scheme of Pakistan

 What happened to the public and private Hajj scheme of Pakistan due to the new system? What lessons did the Ministry of Religious Affairs learn from the difficulties encountered in Hajj 2023 and what ways did it take to remove these difficulties in Hajj 2024? 902 What happened to the Hajj organizer and what happened to the pilgrims of the private Hajj scheme. 


After how the Hajj organizers escaped and returned, what lessons did Hope learn and what plan of action was put together for Hajj 2024? These are the questions that arose, but were limited to questions.


The Ministry of Religious Affairs not only found the reasons for the massive protest on Qayamat Road, which passed with the pilgrims of the government Hajj scheme, Federal Minister Senator Talha Mehmood and the ill treatment of them, but by adopting a strong plan of action, the most severe from these companies. In spite of the pressure, he got relief and made it possible to get schools by making an agreement with Dowla Arabia long ago.


 Pakistan Hajj Mission

 Pakistan Hajj Mission deserves a tribute for this. In today's column, we should not talk about the catering mafia, building mafia, AC mafia, account mafia in Mecca and Medina. However, the steps taken by Pakistan Hajj Mission DG, Director, Deputy Director, Joint Secretary Hajj and In-charge Secretary have made the Hajj operation of the Government Hajj Scheme 2024 safe. 


Tried to To what extent is justice done by keeping the private scheme on the same level as the government scheme. These are the questions that are yet to be answered, to what extent they can be suppressed, whether they can be suppressed or not, after 19 years, the private Hajj scheme. 


has been brought to this point, serious Hajj organizers are thinking. Honor should be saved by not performing the operation of Hajj 2024 or jump in the sea of trials by taking the name of Allah. My guess is that like Hajj 2023, if the monitoring stick of the Ministry of Religious Affairs falls like Thanedar in Hajj 2024,


 then 90% of the companies will be under the eyes of SPA. I have personally experienced in Hajj 2023, a large amount of money is wrong from the dollar account. The money was transferred from another Hajj organizer's account by the bank, but despite all efforts, the money was not returned. Paid for the hotel in Saudi Arabia. For Hajj 2024, the Saudi authorities' decision regarding the account of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Hajj Mission is becoming a headache every day.


Two accounts of each cluster, two accounts of each cluster. From there, schools, hotels and other payments will be made. Will the ministry form a team for monitoring and keep an SPA clause for it?

I have not been able to get out of the trouble of the account for two months, I am afraid of what will happen next. By introducing short Hajj, the ministry has cut half the throat of the private Hajj scheme by making bookings two months in advance. 


Yes, Haji of the private scheme is an entrepreneur, the experience of the past years shows that he is not ready to pay the amount three months in advance. However, the Hajj organizers who could not be sincere with each other in 19 years, 


what will they mix in the operation with the cluster, this history is going to be made. The ministry did not put the future of the private scheme at stake by booking the pilgrims in advance, but also gave deep wounds to the Saudi airlines by giving all the short package bookings. Separately worried. 

If what the trustworthy, honest and righteous leadership of HOPE has done so far is set aside, a request can be made to them with folded hands, there is still time to sit down with the ministry and tell all the facts, DG Pray for Hajj to be exempted from the cluster for one year. Instead of learning from the failure of the official sponsoring scheme, forcing it on the private scheme is like running a knife on the private scheme, because as there are difficulties in moving money out of Pakistan, so are dollars from other countries. 


Moving to Pakistan

Moving to Pakistan has been made the most difficult, so the ministry will have to be stubborn. The acquisition of land for schools, mines has been completed for official pilgrims. According to the new system, it seems impossible for a private scheme. This whole mess is connected to the cluster, the reservations coming from the Hajj organizers across the country have been written down. Therefore, one must do whatever one can do. Hope is a test, don't limit yourself to visits, try to find a way out through counseling.
