(copied......MUST READ...THE HAJJ SUBSIDY...Myth and Reality for my friend Pankaj Dixit who used this bogey to taunt me yesterday. Hope this will enlighten him and other bhakts.
Due to the issue of THE HAJJ SUBSIDY people from various religions and sects in India have been embarrassing and humiliating Muslims.
IN REALITY IS IT REALLY GIVEN TO THE HAJI'S ??
COME LET US CALCULATE.
CALCULATION OF THE HAJJ SUBSIDY
As of now the quota for Indian haji's to travel to cities of Makkah and Madinah in Saudi Arabia for the HAJJ PILGRIMAGE is one Lac Thirty Six Thousand Hajis.
Last year in the annual budget the government sanctioned Rs.691 Crores as Hajj subsidy.
Rs.691 crores ÷ 1.36 lacs Haji's = Rs.50,808/-.
Means for one Haji the subsidy is Rs.50,000/-.
LETS SUM UP THE EXPENDITURE
For Hajj one haji needs to pay Rs.One Lac Eighty Thousand (Rs.1,80,000/-) to the government.
From which Rupees Thirty Four Thousand (Rs.34,000/-) approximately SAR 2,100/- (Saudi Arabian Riyals) are given back to the Haji after reaching Makkah.
Rs.1.86 lacs - Rs.34,000/- = Rs.1.46 lacs.
Means eventually we pay Rupees One Lac Forty Six Thousand(Rs.1,46,000/-) to our government.
Mumbai to Jeddah return tickets if booked 2 months in advance, then would cost less than Rs.25,000/-, but still lets consider Rs.25,000/-. (This can be cross checked on irctc).
Food, taxi or bus expenses are to be borne by hajis from their own pocket.
Calculation of the expenditure from the amount Rs.1,46,000/- paid to the government:
FLIGHT =25,000
STAY IN MECCA(25 DAYS) =50,000
STAY IN MADINA(15 DAYS) =20,000
OTHER EXPENSES =25,000
TOTAL EXPENSES =1,20,000
😧 CONFUSION 😧
Means amount taken from one Haji is Rs.1,46,000/- but total expenses are of Rs.1,20,000/-.
Means one haji gives Rs.26,000/- to the government from his own pocket.
Now the real matter is when a haji bears all the expenses from his own pocket and on top of that additional Rs.26,000/- goes to government.
Meaning approximately from one haji including the subsidy, the government gets total Rs.76,000/- but where does this amount go ???
Rs.26,000/- + Rs.50,000/- × 1,36,000 Haji's = Rs.10,33,60,00,000/-.
A whopping ONE THOUSAND THIRTY THREE CRORES AND SIXTY LACS.
Remember that as of now the Air India company is in loss of 2100 crores rupees.
Without a doubt this money goes to Air India and in the pockets of Indian politicians.
And the Muslims of India are being embarrassed and humiliated in the name of HAJJ SUBSIDY.
