#SupremeCourt hears matters concerning suspension of private Haj Group Organizers
ASG Sanjay Jain: HGOs have to meet certain criteria. In month of May, 512 HGOs were cleared. On 25th May, we received a serious complaint against them.
Jain: They then approached HC of Delhi which said pass a reasonable order. That order was passed on 2nd. We don't want to impact the Hajj pilgrims in any manner. They will not have to spend anything extra from pocket. Their travel will be given to other HGOs.
Jain: The government of India is giving them financial guarantee. Tomorrow if these 17 persons are found deliquents, we won't have anything...the pilgrims interest should not be compromised in any manner. This is our proposal.
