The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony will conduct another Hajj balloting immediately after winning the 17 per cent Hajj quota case from the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
A spokesman of Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony Friday said in a statement that the names of unsuccessful Government Hajj Scheme applicants would be included in the second balloting if they opt to retain their deposited dues in their respective banks.
The unsuccessful pilgrims of first hajj balloting would not be included in the second balloting if they opt to withdraw their deposited dues from their respective banks.

The ministry has already conducted balloting of 50 per cent Hajj quota. The balloting for remaining 17 per cent quota had not been conducted as the case is subjudice. Certain Hajj Group Organisers (HGOs) have challenged the decision of the government of reducing their Hajj quota from 40 per cent to 33 per cent this year.
