Hyderabad, November 02: The worst mismanagement has been displayed by Indian Embassy for Indian Hajj aspirants when Hajj council of Indian embassy informed the Hajj committee that there is no place for aspirants to stay at Madina hence directed the committee to send the aspirants to Makkah instead of Madina, while the batch of Hajj aspirants to take off at 1:40 from Hyderabad airport had been already sent-off to airport.
When the aspirants present at airport came to know about the rescheduled programme they created uproar as they had to enter ihram (state of consecration) before departure. There argument was that for entering into the state of consecration they will have to perform bath, and cut nails before wearing ihram which were not possible at airport.
To leave for Makkah means that the pilgrims should wear Ihram before departure as they pass by miqat on their way to Makkah. The intending Hajj pilgrims had tied up their Ihrams in the luggage according to the previous schedule and the luggage had been loaded up on the flight.
Meanwhile State Hajj committee decided to provide the aspirants with Ihram, belt and sleepers in view of rescheduled programme.
