The chief minister, Dr. Y.S Raja Shekar Reddy, had decided to facilitate pilgrimage to Jerusalem for Christians last year. The center and state governments have been doing the same for Muslims performing the Haj for years. With Hindus too being added in the list there will be no complaints of discrimination.

Principal Secretary for tourism and culture, Mrs. Lakshmi Parthasarathy said that government has formed a committee to work out criteria for selecting pilgrims and packaging the tour.
