949/’19
Hon. Mohamadu Nazeer,— To ask the Minister of Postal Services & Muslim Religious Affairs,—
(a) Will he inform this House—
(i) whether he is aware that a notice has been issued by your Ministry/the Department of Muslim Religious and Cultural Affairs to the effect that Umra permit holders and institutions which have completed five years would be accorded priority in selecting new agents/institutions to accompany devotees for the Haj pilgrimage;
(ii) if so, the reason for not granting permission to “GI Travels” (R.No. MRCA/umra/041/2018) which submitted the lowest bid for the amount to be charged from devotees out of agents and institutions selected to accompany devotees for Haj pilgrimage; and
(iii) whether opportunities will be made available to the said agency as it has been in possession of the Umra permit for over five years and has discharged its responsibilities satisfactorily and is more capable of performing this task and it has stepped in to accompany Haj devotees to Mecca at a minimum cost?
(b) If not, why?
