Saudi Arabia will not allow any political propaganda during
Haj and security agencies will arrest anybody who tries to
violate the sanctity of the pilgrimage.
Interacting with the media, he said the Kingdom has tackled
terrorist activities with determination and resolve in the
past. “These activities did not care about the religion, its
sanctity and people’s lives. Security systems in various
sectors are fully prepared to deal with whoever tries to pose
a threat to the lives of Haj pilgrims,” he said.
Referring to the crane tragedy, Prince Mohammed said this
would not affect Haj. “All preparations have been made to
ensure safety and security throughout the season.”
He said ensuring pilgrims’ well-being is the supreme priority
of the Kingdom, which successfully performs that duty
every year. We will do that this year too, he stressed.
About Eid Al-Adha coinciding with the National Day this
year, Prince Mohammed said this is a unique opportunity to
remind citizens about the foundations of the huge Islamic
state and its services to Islam and Muslims. “This is why
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman has made
extra efforts to provide best services and comprehensive
care to the pilgrims.”
About pilgrims arriving from Yemen, the crown prince said
all facilities are being provided to them.
“But if there is any hurdle to their Haj it is due to the acts of
the Houthis and supporters of Ali Abdullah Saleh who have
destabilized Yemen and jeopardized the safety of Yemeni
people.” He said the people of Yemen understand this very
well and they also know the Saudi policy toward them.
Referring to the last two operations in Riyadh meant to
thwart terrorist designs, he said the security agencies are
completely vigilant and they are closely monitoring all
terrorist organizations.
