Naqvi added this year a total of 1,28,002 pilgrims will go through Haj Committee of India which includes about 47 percent females.

Speaking at a function in Mumbai, the Minister said, the Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has succeeded in getting India's Haj quota increased for the consecutive second year.

Haj subsidy was used to fleece  the Muslim Pilgrims. I am sure the Haj tickets are much cheaper.

dear Hassan, dont bother yourself with airfare calcuations.  This Naqwi is a stupid parallysed minister of BJP-RSS group.  Though he has tongue but he cant speak his own, he has to be feeded by his superiors and spit the same.  who the hell he to decide the number of piligrims to perform Hajj, is KSA is fathers property? he is thinking we Indian Muslims are stupid? i doubt he is a muslim (he is not).  for your info, dont calculate airfare and expenses which is bound to occur during this holy deed.  Islam has clearly emphasized "Hajj shall be performed for healthy and wealthy slaves" lets Ask Allah to all of us blesssed to reach that holy place and paerform our Hajj in sha Allah. Government subsidy is my foot....

He think he and his party fool people in each and every occations. What ever the quota saudi government provides, that much people will go to Hajj every year depend upon the Quota.

Mr mininster, We dont want Subsidy But please compare the air fare now and during HAj season. If you control on that then people will realise that you had did something positive. Airfare regular price from mumbai to jeddah is around Rs 25000/- But during Ramadan and Hajj seoson its crosses more then Rs 75000/- Differrence is more then what government was giving Susidy. So dont fool the nation. Keep control on Air fare. Jai hind

New Delhi, Apr 23: Union Information and Broadcasting Minister, Prakash Javadekar, on Thursday condemned the attack on Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami saying that this is "against democracy".

"We condemn the attempt to attack renowned journalist Arnab Goswami. Essentially, we condemn every attack on any journalist. Because this is against democracy," the Union Minister said.

"It is really ironical that those who preach tolerance have become so intolerant. Therefore, we condemn this attempt. We appeal to the collective wisdom that this is undemocratic. As per present law, definitely, police takes action, if there is a complaint," said Javadekar.

Two persons were arrested on Thursday morning for allegedly attacking Republic TV editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and his wife Samyabrata Ray in Mumbai.
