In a Demi-official letter to Mr Modi, he urged him to instruct the Minority Affairs Ministry to confirm all the applications.
He said the Tamil Nadu State Hajj Committee has received 6,028 applications for Hajj 2020, including seven infants,
against a quota of 3,736 allotted to the State by the Hajj Committee of India.
The remaining pilgrims were hopeful that all their Hajj applications will get confirmed for Hajj 2020. Mr palaniswami said a good number of vacancies are expected to be available since many States have not utilised their full quota due to many reasons, including cancellations.

by the Tamil Nadu State Hajj Committee for Hajj 2020’, he added.
