The Hajj organizers raised their concerns regarding new Hajj policy presented by Saudi Government in the recent meetings. Since the caretaker minister Aneeq Ahmed is going on a visit to Saudi Arabia, the hajj organizers wanted to make sure that the minister presents their point of view in front of Saudi Government.

However, Saudi Government has asked to significantly reduce the number of hajj operators as per their new Hajj Policy and vision of Saudi Government.
