#WATCH | Delhi | Union Minister of Minority Affairs Kiren Rijiju says, "... Within a week, we will start accepting Hajj applications for 2026... I request people to fill out their applications on time so they do not face any problems in the future. The Saudi Arabian government has set many strict deadlines... I strictly instruct the tour operators to adhere to the set timelines. I have directed the Hajj Committee of India to deposit the payment to the Saudi Arabian government before the deadline... I have been given suggestions regarding the accommodations. We are considering the request for separate accommodations for men and women... A companion is mandatory to look after pilgrims above XX years of age... We will also offer an option for a short Hajj. The entire process will be digital. If there is a single name in the passport, it does not read while processing in Saudi Arabia. I request people to ensure that if there is a single name on their passport, it has to be corrected... We will provide food choices state-wise so that pilgrims can eat food to their taste..."
