Congress MLA Arif Masood threatens to resign from Haj commiittee if fare not reduced

The government did a big fraud with the Hajis, if the Haj fare is not reduced in two days, Arif Masood will resign from the Haj Committee membership.

Speaking in a press conference today, MLA Arif Masood said that only a few days are left for the Haj flight to start, but the Central Haj Committee has increased the fare for the Haj pilgrims, rather there is a difference of Rs 50000 to Rs 1 lakh.

Bhopal MLA and Madhya Pradesh State Haj Committee member Arif Masood has not only expressed displeasure over the arbitrary fare hike for Haj pilgrims, but has also requested the Central Haj Committee Chairman and Union Minister for Minorities to withdraw the hiked fare, saying that the government Haj Pilgrims have been cheated a lot by not informing them about the increased amount at the time of filling the form.

MLA Arif Masood further said that the assembly elections are going on in Karnataka and to woo the voters, the fare for Haj pilgrims going from Bengaluru has been kept the lowest in the country. On the other hand, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish is engaged in uniting the opposition, so Modi has paid the rent for the maximum number of Hajis there. Highest in the country. Pilgrims going from Bengaluru will have to spend Rs 303921 per person, while pilgrims going for Haj from Bihar Gaya will have to spend Rs 400366 lakh Similarly, the pilgrims going for Haj from Bhopal will have to pay Rs.3,72,815 while the pilgrims going for Haj from Mumbai will have to pay Rs.3,4,843 only. The difference of Rs 68,000 between Bhopal and Mumbai travel shows how the government wants to benefit its favorite airline companies in the name of Haj pilgrims.

Talking to reporters further, Bhopal MLA Arif Masood said that the order issued by the Central Haj Committee regarding the fare of Haj pilgrims is a conspiracy with the pilgrims of the country, when Union Minister Smriti Irani, in the UPA government, took the cylinder for an increase of Rs 5. She used to come on the streets, but today an increased amount is being collected from the Hajis related to her department, why is she keeping silent on this issue?

There was a difference of about Rs 10000 to Rs 15000 when going on Haj pilgrimage from Mumbai, but now the difference has increased to more than Rs 68000. Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia is from Madhya Pradesh, even after this he did not cut the fare of Hajis of Madhya Pradesh. It seems that he has nothing to do with the people of Madhya Pradesh.

Hajis going on Haj are being looted by increasing the fare. Today, I have written a letter to the Chairman of the Central Haj Committee, Abdulla Kutty, informing that if the order of increased fare for Haj pilgrims is not withdrawn within two days, I will resign from the membership of the State Haj Committee and I advise that the government is not listening to you, so you should also resign.

Meanwhile Kura (lottery) will be drawn at Moti Masjid on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at 9:00 am for Mecca Rubat of Hajis going for Haj 2023.

Kura for Rubat will be opened in the presence of Bhopal City Qazi Mushtaq Ali Nadvi Sahab and Bhopal Mufti Abul Kalam Sahab. Arrangements have been made to stay 200 Hajis in Bhopal Rubat during Haj 2023.

Hajj pilgrims going to Bhopal Sehore Raisen have been requested to be present.
