In a big embarrassment for Pakistan, Saudi Arabia has raised concerns about the increasing number of Pakistani beggars arriving in the country using Umrah visas. The Saudi Ministry of Hajj has issued a warning to Pakistan's Ministry of Religious Affairs to 'Stop Sending Beggars' under the guise of religious pilgrimage. Reports indicate that this rising trend could negatively impact the reputation of legitimate Pakistani Umrah and Hajj pilgrims. Sources from the Pakistani Ministry confirm that Saudi authorities are closely monitoring the situation, emphasizing that failure to address the issue may lead to stricter regulations for all Pakistani pilgrims visiting the holy sites.
