<b>Dump the Haj subsidy</b>
EDITORIAL

TIMES NEWS NETWORK [SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 2004 12:00:55 AM]
           
The government should dump the Haj subsidy, rather than expand its benefit to income-tax payers, as proposed by minister of state for home Sriprakash Jaiswal.
          
A secular State has no business subsidising religious pilgrimage. Further, it offers no real benefit to Muslim pilgrims - the 'subsidised' rate they pay is probably higher than what commercial operators would charge for an assured supply of such large volumes of travellers.
       
At the same time, the subsidy patronises the pilgrims and becomes an instrumentality of votebank politics. The only gainers from the subsidy are the votaries of communal politics.

Indira Gandhi introduced the Haj subsidy as a temporary measure after the oil crisis of the '70s and it should have been phased out a long time ago.
