Hyderabad, October 07 (Siasat News): Serving Hajj pilgrims is the cause to attain Allah’s pleasure yet some shortsighted people commit corruption and promote relatives even in the affairs relating to Hajj pilgrims.
Every year Khadimul-hujjaj are appointed in the ratio of 300:1, and they are selected from government servants through interview or by drawing lots. State government provides Rs. 20 lakh in this regard. 3 volunteers are selected by Hajj committee and waqf board and remaining 20 are selected by drawing lots.
This year 20 Hajj volunteers had been selected by drawing lots and two were kept in waiting list. Due to some technical reasons verification could not be done by the Central Hajj committee for two Khadimul Hujjaj.
Instead of selecting the two officials who were in the waiting list, two other officials from the secretariat were nominated and their names were sent to Central Hajj committee and external affairs ministry and the approval has also been taken.
