However, in Kerala, the situation is unpleasant,&#8221; he had said, adding that there should be an all-India draw of lots to decide who will go on Haj.<\/p>\n<p>The Kerala Haj Committee alleged that the present quota system was discriminatory.<\/p>\n<p>Attorney General K K Venugopal, appearing for the Centre, had justified the present quota policy saying it had been devised by the Central Haj Committee after considering the suggestions of 31 different state Haj committees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Supreme Court today asked the Centre to apprise it by tomorrow about the total allocation of Haj quota seats and the vacancies if any on a plea of the Kerala Haj Committee alleging that the policy to grant state-wise quota for Haj pilgrims was discriminatory.
