Minister of Religious Affairs of Pakistan, Chaudhry Salik Hussain, has unveiled the new Hajj Policy 2025 that includes an installment payment system for pilgrims so that the financial burden is lightened and more people across the country could make a sacred pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina. Under this new scheme, an installment plan will also be followed in which payments will be spread right from the time of application till the final deposit. Under the new package, 179,210 pilgrims would be flown for Hajj and the amount would fall between Rs 1.075 million and Rs 1,175 million, according to the package of the governing body. Especially, the first-timers have been targeted by the governing body who will be given priority through the balloting system. Another provision of the new policy is a two-option travel package for people with differing time preferences. Another policy is involved in the travel restriction with children under 12; however, not traveling. The phased payment approach will ease the process for those keen on going for Hajj in terms of travel arrangements. This policy will be a big step for Pakistani citizens, and Hajj will become an easily possible affair for them. . . . #Hajj2025 #PakistanPolicy #HajjPaymentPlan #PakistaniPilgrims #ReligiousJourney #InstalmentPlan #PakistanGovernment #FirstTimePilgrims #HajjPackages #Pilgrimage #FinancialSupport #IslamicFaith #TravelFlexibility #BallotingProcess #ReligiousObligation #Tribunetrends

The cost of Hajj for Pakistanis next year and how it might impact those planning to embark on this sacred journey. As the government sets the price, it is expected to increase due to various factors, including rising inflation, exchange rates, and adjustments in travel expenses. Despite the challenges, the significance of Hajj as a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage for many remains paramount. With the Hajj package offering different tiers of service, travelers can expect varying costs depending on the facilities provided. These costs play a crucial role in determining accessibility for many Pakistanis wishing to fulfill their religious duty. #Hajj #Cost #Pakistan #Year

Yes that's why CAA is necessary.
The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) removes substantial barriers to legal resettlement and citizenship by proposing amnesty for #Hindus, #Buddhists, #Jains, #Sikhs, #Parsis (Zoroastrian), and #Christians who sought shelter in India on or before December 31, 2014 due to religious persecution in their native countries of #Afghanistan, #Bangladesh, or #Pakistan. The #CAA, however, does not go far enough. Indeed, India is the sacred homeland of the four Dharmic/Indic traditions — Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism — and home to the largest populations adhering to these respective traditions. The dire human rights situation for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan is undeniable, and their respective populations’ demographic decline a staggering reminder. The inclusion of Christians and Parsis is also important as they too have faced serious human rights violations in India’s three neighboring countries. The specific mention of adherents of the four Dharmic traditions in the CAA is 1) An important acknowledgement of their suffering both in their native countries and in India as they’ve languished for years in legal limbo in make-shift refugee camps throughout the country; 2) Recognition of India as the sacred geography and homeland of these traditions and their respective adherents; and 3) Indication of India’s efforts to provide refuge to these especially vulnerable communities who have no options for resettlement in any nation in South Asia other than #India. #HumanRights #ModiHaiToMumkinHai #modi

The #citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, now called CAA Rules, 2024 seeks to grant Indian citizenship to refugees who had sought shelter in India before 31st December 2014, due to religious persecution in three neighboring countries. -3 countries – Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh, -6 minority communities – Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians. The CAA notification reads "It will remove legal barriers to rehabilitation and citizenship to such persons and will give a dignified life to refugees who have suffered for decades. Citizenship rights will protect their cultural, linguistic, and social identity. It will also ensure economic, commercial, free movement, and property purchase rights. Many misconceptions have been spread regarding the Citizenship Amendment Act. This is the law to give citizenship, CAA will not take away the citizenship of any Indian citizen, irrespective of religion. This Act is only for those who have suffered persecution for years and have no other shelter in the world except India."
