Overseas Pakistanis, arriving in Saudi Arabia, greatly appreciate the "Short Hajj Scheme" of the Government of Pakistan.

Talking to Radio Pakistan Correspondent in Makkah Bilal Khan Mehsud today, they termed it a unique and very helpful step even for the future.

A US based Pakistani citizen Talha Ahmad told that he along with his family came from the United States for Hajj under this scheme without facing any difficulty. He said they are lucky because there was no delay and got the opportunity without waiting for the typical delay in documentation. He said he was selected without balloting which is another very positive aspect of the scheme. He also expressed pleasure over the arrangements made for the Pakistani pilgrims in Makkah.

Another pilgrim Khalil hailing from Karachi said that this scheme is the best option and he recommended for countrymen to go for it in future.

Nusrat Tanveer from Chakwal commended the Pakistan Hajj Mission for taking all possible measures to facilitate pilgrims.
