Mumbai:
A day-long Haj conference will be held today in the National
capital to discuss the possibility of the Malaysian Model of Haji
Tabang for the Indian Haj pilgrims.
The conference will be held from 10 a.m to 5 p.m
today the 19th June 2012 at
the Convention Hall of Ashok Hotel in New Delhi, said a statement issued
by K. Rahman
Khan, former Chairman, Rajya Sabha.
"Discussions will be made on the arrangement to be made for the Haj
pilgrims following the Malaysian Model of Haji Tabang", the
statement said.
This conference is organized in collaboration with the Islamic
Development Bank, Jeddah Saudi Arabia and Tabang Haji of Malaysia.
President of Islamic Development Bank Dr. Ahmed Mohammed Ali and
the representatives of Tabang Haji will present Tabang Haji Model.
The conference assumes significance in the wake of the recent judgement
of the Supreme Court of India, for gradual elimination of Haj
subsidy given to Haj pilgrimage.
In this context, possibilities of establishing an institution
similar to Tabang Haji in India and also for making Haj pilgrimage
comfortable and economical will be discussed.
Long term plans for Haj arrangements
will also be discussed in the conference. The participants of the
conference consist of Islamic Scholars, intellectuals, economists
and organizers of Hajj pilgrimage, the statement said.
