Valedictory ceremony held at Saudi Embassy in Delhi for Indian Haj delegation invited by Saudi King
New Delhi: A valedictory ceremony was held on Tuesday at the Saudi Embassy in New Delhi in honour of the thirty-member Indian Haj delegation invited by the King of Saudi Arabia to perform the holy pilgrimage this year as special royal guests.
The event was graced by the presence of the attaché of Islamic Affairs at the Embassy, Badr Nasir Alanazi, who personally interacted with the delegates, offering them warm wishes and prayers for a blessed pilgrimage. The ceremony marked a formal send-off for the honoured pilgrims ahead of their departure to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina.
Among the prominent figures in the delegation is Panakkad Sadiq Ali Shihab Thangal, President of the Indian Union Muslim League in Kerala. Representing Karnataka is Safwan Junaid, a resident of Pandeshwar in Mangaluru, known for his active involvement in social and religious activities.
Each year, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through its Ministry of Religious Affairs, selects a group of individuals from across the globe as part of a special royal guest program for Haj. The King of Saudi Arabia, who also serves as the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, sponsors the entire pilgrimage, including travel, stay, and related arrangements. This year, over 1,300 individuals from various countries have been selected under this program, with 30 invitees representing India.
The Indian delegation is scheduled to depart for Jeddah from New Delhi on May 28, from where they will proceed to perform the Haj pilgrimage.

Posting his allegation on his personal ‘X’ account on Saturday morning, Kharge said that he was referring to an issue that had not been dealt with decisively by Indian media houses.
“Here is a crucial story that the Indian media will never touch,” the minister has said, and clarified, “This so-called “body of individuals” has built a global network of over 2,500 affiliated organisations. Through these fronts, the RSS collects “guru dakshina” to fuel its divisive agenda. (sic)”
Kharge has further alleged, “The world’s largest NGO is running amok, laundering money and evading accountability.”
The minister added, “Here is a map of their organisational architecture of their “Vichar Parivaar.” https://rssproject.caravanmagazine.in / @thecaravanindia”
