President Asif Ali Zardari on Monday felicitated the intending pilgrims for Hajj this year, and asked them to pray for the prosperity and progress of the country and to seek Allah Almighty's help in overcoming all challenges. This is for the first time, after the government of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, that every intending Haji, who had applied would be able to perform the most important Muslim obligatory ritual of Haj. Around 88,000 Hajis have been selected under the policy.
