Tahir Ashrafi
Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi is the Chairman of the Pakistan Ulema Council, known for his significant role in religious affairs and interfaith dialogue in Pakistan. Recently, he has been in the news due to concerns that 70,000 to 75,000 private pilgrims may lose their Hajj quota, as there have been delays in allocating spaces for them in Mina and Arafat. This situation has arisen from disputes between private organizations and the Ministry of Religious Affairs, leading to the expiration of the deadline set by the Saudi government.
