+




Like other Muslim countries, public protest has also been launched in Pakistan for decision of Saudi govt. to charge 200 rial fee for people performing Umrah more than one in 3 years. The companies providing services for Umrah said that they will be forced to nationwide protest if the decision is not taken back.

According to details, now people performing Umrah more than once in 3 years will have to pay 2000 rial extra apart from Umrah fee and it will be implemented from 2nd October 2016. The normal Umrah package of Pakistanis is between Rs. 75000 to Rs. 90000. Now the people want to perform multiple umrahs in three years will also have to pay Rs. 58000 extra and the total fee will become Rs. 130,000.

Reaction was seen in Muslim countries against this decision and protests are launched in Indonesia, Algeria, Turkey, Syria and other countries. Companies providing services for Hajj and Umrah appealed govt. to request from Saudi Arabia to take this fee back. Members of Majlis Dars Pakistan has given opinion that Saudi govt. should charge 100 riyal extra on visa fee instead of this fee if it is facing financial problems.
