He explicitly requested assistance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to fulfil his desire to travel to the Islamic holy cities.

Arshad noted that he would have to cross Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait on foot to get to the holy city of Makkah.

The visas for Iran and Kuwait are seen as being tough to obtain, but I can do it with some assistance from the officials, he insisted.

The young person emphasized that many others have begun the holy pilgrimage on foot, with an Indian young person also pursuing it.

Why can’t our country do the same if other nations offer their citizens assistance? he questioned.

Arshad is counting on the government to fulfil his wish for him once and for all.
