The attempt to prevent the differently abled people from going for for hajj by the present government and the claim that they will go and beg in Saudi Arabia is discriminatory against such people as well as an insult on their disabled status. Preventing people from going for religious pilgrimage is violation of their rights of equality as well as the right to freedom of religion. As the government of Saudi Arabia does not ban the old and the disabled from completing their religious duties, rather it provides special provisions on them, such an action by any other government is malafide and does not merit any implementation.
