Former Goa chief minister and Congress MLA Pratapsingh Rane on Wednesday demanded the state government provide financial assistance to Hindu and Christian pilgrims on the lines of the Haj.
Speaking in the Legislative Assembly, Rane clarified that he was not against the financial help provided to Haj pilgrims, but is of the view that similar facilities be extended to Hindus and Christians too.
"It is laudable that you provide financial help to Haj pilgrims, but also provide help to those who want to go to Kashi, Prayag, Amarnath, Badrinath, Panchwati, Manasarovar etc. Why don't you help them also?
