The Minister for Religious Affairs and Inter-Faith Harmony and the Federal Secretary briefed the Committee on the salient features of the proposed Hajj Policy and Plan 2027–2030, highlighting its focus on continuity, predictability and long-term operational planning in line with Saudi Hajj requirements. He stated that the policy seeks to improve services for Pakistani pilgrims, enhance transparency and accountability, reduce procurement and operational costs, accelerate digital transformation and strengthen pilgrim welfare mechanisms. The policy further provides for a 60 percent Government and 40 percent Private Hajj quota, long- and short-duration Hajj packages, enhanced regulation of private Hajj operators, merit-based selection of welfare staff, and strengthened Takaful protection and emergency response mechanisms. The Committee expressed serious displeasure over the presentation of the Hajj Policy 2027 before the Federal Cabinet for approval without its prior consideration and without obtaining the views and recommendations of the elected representatives through the Standing Committee. Minister for Religious Affairs and Inter-Faith Harmony, the Secretary, and senior officers of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Inter-Faith Harmony also attended the meeting.
