Don’t play politics: Kiren Rijiju to Opposition amid Hajj slot row
Union Minister Kiren Rijiju asked the opposition on Thursday to not play politics over Hajj after their criticism of the government over India losing 52,000 slots for the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Rijiju stated that Saudi Haj Ministry has given India 10,000 Hajj quotas as a special gesture and extended the deadline to avail quotas after India talked to Saudi Arabia.
