JAKARTA - Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Muhaimin Iskandar alias Cak Imin is aware of the issue of the furoda pilgrimage or the invitational pilgrimage from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia that had blown up.

The mechanism for the pilgrimage was not managed by the state, causing 46 hajj candidates from Indonesia to be deported back to the country because they were caught using unofficial visas from Malaysia and Singapore.

"In the elite layer, a few furoda [hajj] issues emerged. However, all the twists and turns, everything went smoothly. We can also decide on the sudden addition of the 10 thousand quota quickly," said Cak Imin during the coordination meeting for the Implementation of Hajj 1443 H/2022 AD together Amirul Hajj and DPR in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, Tuesday 5 July.

However, according to him, overall the implementation of Hajj 1443 H/2022 M for Indonesian pilgrims went quite well. Cak Imin also appreciated the Minister of Religion (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas because he considered the implementation to be very good compared to previous years.

"After two years of the pandemic. We are grateful that all of us are monitoring, we are following. Everything is going smoothly. Various obstacles at the bottom layer do not appear," he said.

In particular, Cak Imin also expressed his gratitude to the Minister of Religion. According to him, all officers from the lowest to the minister all coordinated and supervised properly.

"Congratulations to the Minister of Religion and all ranks, Amirul Hajj's entourage for carrying out well. I listened to more than 2,000 hajj officers who were prepared and carried out neatly," he said.

On this occasion, based on the Antara report, Cak Imin said that the law on the implementation of hajj which ordered the government to be the executor of the hajj was still very relevant and effective.

"Several times there have been issues of privatization. We are grateful that our implementation is getting better. Pilgrims get good subsidies from the entire existing system. This is proof that our law is still very relevant while anticipating changes in the way Saudi Arabia continues to change," he said.
