The Saudi Ministry of Hajj has written a letter to Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs, urging action to stop Pakistani beggars.
According to sources in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj has issued a warning to Pakistan’s Ministry of Religious Affairs.
The Saudi Ministry of Hajj stated that if Pakistani beggars are not stopped, it could affect Umrah pilgrims and Hajj participants. Pakistani beggars come to Saudi Arabia on Umrah visas.
“If the beggars are not stopped, we will impose restrictions on Hajj and Umrah pilgrims,” the Saudi ministry said.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs has decided to introduce an Umrah Act, under which travel agents organizing Umrah will be brought under a legal framework.
Additionally, the Ministry of Religious Affairs has contacted the government to prevent Pakistani beggars from going to Saudi Arabia.
