Many friend wrote about Hajj Subsidy. We Muslims asking government to remove this subsidy and allow Muslims to take any carrier, instead of Air India. Hajis are paying more than Rs. 30,000 as air ticket cost after subsidy or Air India discount. We can take any private carrier. The private carrier are offering great subsidy they want to give tickets for Rs 15000 - 20000. We can save lot of money or travel more cheaper.
Please ask the government to take-away this so called, curtailed, subsidy. The Government unable to give reasonable amount for Minorities Development, how can they compensate to the Muslims.
When BJP was in Government, why not they slash this subsidy. There is a play, face saving and some of the Muslims bikao, playing all this dirty game.

The Indian government gives Rs 1,000 crores (Rs 10 billion) for salaries of imams in mosques and Rs 200 crores (Rs 2 billion) as Haj subsidies.
Why the Government in a "Secular" Country waste the tax-payers money on futile exercises like Haj and Madrassa education? What do they expect from the Madrassa educated youth? Have the leaders who always cry hoarse about back-wardness of minorities thought of how they will cope up with the comptitive world outside?
The Govt is collecting "Education Cess" on all direct taxes. Why that money is not channeled for imparting modern education to all (irrespective of caste, creed, colour or religion) ?
