The House of Representatives has called for an international investigation into the tragedy that occurred during this year’s holy pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.

Meanwhile, the Senate is to set up an ad-hoc committee which will investigate the incident and report back them.

Both motions were passed unanimously in both chambers. In the National Assembly, Federal Lawmakers called for explanations.
