Mohsin Raza Khan (ANI)
Uttar Pradesh’s Muslim Waqf and Haj Minister Mohsin Raza Khan today (25 March) urged rich Muslims to leave Haj subsidy for the deserving poor. Raza told ANI,
He added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has increased the subsidy from Rs 21,000 to Rs 29,000 for Uttar Pradesh.
“It is our responsibility to act in a transparent manner and let the deserving person get hold of the scheme,” he said.
He further said that it would be his priority to ensure ‘deserving Muslims’ get Haj subsidy.
The centre provides subsidy to Muslim pilgrims to Mecca annually by reducing airfares in official carrier Air India, and has a quota for different states.
