Marwan said the head of BP Haji Gus Irfan will change the mention of the Hajj and Umrah Minister. “Of course, Gus Irfan later, no longer the head of the agency, became a primary minister. And the articles about it were decided that it was not 60 days, I forgot the secretary general to formulate when to convey the responsibility faster, sir, if I did not do the most 30 days, or how much I forgot,” Marwan said in a meeting. Browse to continue the content, Marwan said the Minister of Religion no longer provided Nazaruddin Umar to the issue of Hajj and Umrah. “The Minister of Religion will no longer take care of the Hajjs matters to truly be a clergy, and take care of the interests of religious communities.
