Dear sir, Pl go through the last sensus report, the population has been increased 3 fold. This itself is enough to say not only in UP but also allover india there are truely not at all minority either religiously, or in any way. They are enjoying all facilities of government projects,take even HAJ YATRA. NO hindu is provided with any such facility to go to yatra even out side india we have hindu, temple, at combodia ANGKORWAT TEMPLE,MANAS SAROVAR this is an example. our politicians should stop propagating muslims as minority religion or group, for the sake of vote bank.Till our politicians not realise this matter god only should save our country.

Dear Sir, The whole story about Haj subsidy is blown out of proportion, by a few political parties. Are you aware that the price of subsidized tickets for Haj, in Indian Airlines, is only 10% less than the actual price? In addition, the airlines do very good business during that time, by increasing the no. of flights and making people to take only IA flights because of this so-called subsidy. They make huge profit by the volumes, though the profit margin is less.

Mr Wazid is very much right. This is all a propaganda by the politicians to catch a "few" votes of the so called minorities by appeasing them with peanuts. As far as the general public is concerned, the government spends hundreds of crores of rupees every year on this so called "Haj Subsidy". They make an equal amount (or more) since they organise several extra flights as per Mr Wazid. It is a different matter that even these peanuts are not available to Hindus wanting to visit Kailash Manasarovar. Instead, the government charges exorbitant amount as taxes and other levies on the hapless pilgrims. It is also a different matter that no other country (including Muslim countries) in the world offers subsidies to the pilgrims. A Couple of things appear strange to me. Firstly, why the Indian Muslims, despite knowing that they are offered peanuts, still accept the offer? Secondly, why other airlines do not organise the trip at much lower cost that they can afford and make more volume of money rather than percentage? Allah hee is sawal ko jawab de sakta hai.
