My resignation is to express my concern and dissatisfaction with the management of the HCI due to interference by the ministry,” Ashraf told newsper- sons in Lucknow on Monday. Ashraf said though the HCI was an autonomous body, its decisions in the interest of Haj pilgrims were being “overruled” by the Union Minority Affairs Ministry. Ashraf said the rate of goods and services tax (GST) on Haj flights was 18 per cent while for domestic flights within the country it was only 5 per cent. “Similarly, the HCI had decided to accommodate all Haj pilgrims in Medina Markazia in Saudi Arab but the proposal was not accepted by the ministry. Now, most pilgrims have to stay outside Markazia and pay higher charges,” he alleged.
