Afghan pilgrims for many years have been complaining about existing consequences during their stay for Hajj and accused the relevant departments of negligence in providing services and facilities.
In the meantime, due to the coronavirus outbreaks in the last two years in the world, Saudi Arabia has limited Hajj for Hajj performers.
Despite this, Saudi Arabia announced increasing pilgrims up to one million for the current year, and above a thousand Afghans demand to perform Hajj for the year.
