HAJJ CONCESSION
by AXE on Jul 08, 2008 04:26 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

To All talking abt withdrawing Haj Subsidy, to all your lack of your knowledge pls. be informed tht Indian Government & Air India is doing more than 30% of their yearly business with Haj pilgrims, it's their most money making season even after giving subsidy. The Aviation Ministry can not afford withdrawing such subsidy which will result in a big loss to the INDIAN GOVERNMENT. If all my Hindu Brothers also like to avail such subsidy facilities why can't they travel to Amarnath & their other pilgrims through AIR rather than going by walk without clippers or on some trucks & animals, our government will love to offer them the same subsidy, even more.
And if the Indian Government even thinks of withdrawing this subsidy for Haj , there is a huge list of Airline waiting in the queue to operate the flights for such pilgrims even with more subsidy without any penny gain intensions. Like: Saudi Arabia Air Lines, Gulf Air, Air Arabia…n many more.
Why can’t we just think positive and try to line in love and harmony.

What truth? Haj trips cost India 900 million dollars a year- in return we get more free-loaders. If Haj trips are such a bonus, why Porkistan is not giving free haj trips?

We are short of enery resources on this planet. To send these mooslem idiots to Mecca so that they could bond with fellow mooslems and throw stones on Satan in shape of a pillar is such a waste. Only humans are wasteful creatures on this planet.

what are you talking? have sense in what you post?

the 30% increase that you are talking about relates to the gross revenue, which depends ont he number of passengers... the subsidy may be either treated as a direct/indirect expense by air india... so what is your point here???

if you say that there is no real subsidy for the muslim, then why do they travel by air india? they can try other international airlines (which actually are good in quality)...

and when you are talking about big loss.. what is the quantum? can you explain for the benefit of all, the amout and the type of subsidies that a muslim gets?

That increase is given by the money collected from the temples in the name of endowment ministry-There is no condition that the Haj pilgrims should travel only by Air India. I do not advocate to prevent Muslim for his pilgrimage like they unite to hurt Hindu pilgrimage.
