Does one still have to make up for qadha salaah after performing hajj?

Q: If one has made Hajj and and during Hajj one made sincere taubah for missing previous salaah and since Hajj one has never missed another salaah, do you still have to repay your outstanding salaah that was incurred in the years before your Hajj? I am asking because I read that the person who performs Hajj emerges sinless (all sins forgiven) like a newborn baby, and sincere taubah was made for missing previous salaah. 

A: Through taubah and repentance, the sin of the qadha is forgiven. However, the obligation of completing the qadha still remains.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
