Special Hajj flight arranged for lawmakers

The government has taken a special initiative to facilitate parliamentarians in performing the Hajj pilgrimage by arranging a dedicated flight for their convenience.

During a National Assembly session, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar shared the news that some of their “esteemed colleagues” had already embarked on their Hajj journey.

In light of the current restrictions imposed by the Saudi Arabian authorities on Hajj flights, the government successfully secured a special flight exclusively for parliamentarians.
