REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA -- House member Maman Imanul Haq explicated about several evaluations regarding the implementation of 2024 Hajj, including cases related to the uses of non-Hajj visas and delays in Hajj flight departure.

"First, of course, related to the visa process. We know that some of the citizens use non-Hajj visas, and that is the reason for deportation cases," he stated at a discussion titled “Democratic Dialectics related to the Evaluation and Notes on the 2024 Hajj Implementation” here on Thursday.

Haq, who attended the meeting virtually, remarked that some Hajj pilgrims failed to meet the Hajj worship health standards, though this came to light just before departure, thereby causing a cancellation or delay in the process.

Furthermore, he highlighted that the addition of a Hajj quota of 20 thousand for Indonesia increased the figure from 221 thousand to 241 thousand pilgrims, though the realization was not considered to be transparent.
