Thousands of Pakistani pilgrims on HAJJ in 2010 were seen sleeping and living in front of the HARIM SHARIF because of Pakistan HAJJ arrangements denied our poor pilgrims accommodation they had paid for. Our pilgrims were denied accommodation right through their HAJJ. I know because I was there and I saw them and gave their children food.
I had travelled from London. Thank Allah I did not go through the Government of Pakistan. Those responsible for this corruption must be held to account with long prison sentences. The Government of Pakistan should compensate the victims of this corruption with a minimum of 5 lakhs per person.
Lets have some justice .
