**Interview with Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Federal Minister for Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, Minister Hussain. You’ve recently announced the Hajj Policy for 2025, which includes a significant quota for pilgrims. Can you tell us how this year’s quota is structured?
**Chaudhry Salik Hussain:** Thank you for having me. Yes, I’m pleased to announce that Pakistan’s Hajj quota for 2025 is set at 179,210 seats. This quota is divided equally between public and private Hajj schemes, ensuring accessibility for all intending pilgrims.
**Interviewer:** That sounds fair. Could you break down the specific allocations for both schemes?
**Chaudhry Salik Hussain:** Certainly! For both public and private Hajj schemes, we have allocated 89,605 seats each. Additionally, there are 5,000 seats earmarked exclusively for a sponsorship scheme within the public Hajj scheme.
**Interviewer:** Interesting! I’ve heard that the government is implementing specific rules for the sponsorship program. Could you elaborate on that?

It’s important to note that the government sponsorship scheme will operate on a “first come, first served” basis, exempting participants from drawing lots.
