For this reason, foreigners will not be able to do Haj pilgrimage

 The cancellation of the Haj pilgrimage came to a complete halt when the Saudi Arabian government took an important decision regarding the yatra. Under this decision only the local citizens of Saudi Arabia will be able to perform Hajj. While foreigners will not be allowed to perform Haj pilgrimage. In this regard, Saudi Arabia's Haj Minister Dr. Muhammad Saleh bin Taher Benten said that this decision has been taken due to the corona virus epidemic. It is very important to take care of social distancing in them.

In this regard, Muhammad Saleh telephoned Union Minister for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and requested him not to send Haj pilgrims, which has been accepted as an honor for Saudi Arabia. This information has been tweeted by Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.

Earlier there was a dilemma regarding Haj pilgrimage that perhaps the Haj pilgrimage would be canceled due to the corona virus epidemic, but it has been applied only to foreign travelers. Every year 200,000 Haj pilgrims from India visit the holy Mecca Medina.

Giving more information about this, Union Minister Naqvi said that this year more than 200,000 Haj pilgrims were received, who could not go to Saudi Arabia due to Corona virus epidemic. Their deposited money will be returned to them. It is known that last year 200,000 people went on Haj pilgrimage, including 100,000 women.

Significantly, Around161,00 people have been found infected with Corona virus in Saudi Arabia, out of which 105,000  thousand people have been successfully treated. While 1307 people have died. In view of the seriousness of the matter, foreign Haj pilgrims are not allowed. At the same time, new rules have also been made for local citizens.
