Lucknow:

Holding Tablighi Jamaat members accountable for the spread of COVID-19, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has actually stated that being contaminated with an infection is not a criminal offense however to conceal it is certainly one. The chief minister stated action would be taken versus them for the “crime”.

Speaking at a program of a news channel on Saturday, Adityanath stated, “The role of Tablighi Jamaat was most condemnable. To get a disease is not a crime but to hide a disease which is infectious is definitely a crime. And this crime has been done by those associated with the Tablighi Jamaat.”

“In Uttar Pradesh and other places where the spread of the coronavirus has been seen, Tablighi Jamaat is behind it. Had they not hidden the disease and went about like its carriers, then perhaps we would have controlled the coronavirus outbreak to a large extent,” he had actually stated. A Tablighi Jamaat churchgoers kept in March in Delhi’s Nizamuddin location substantially added to the doubling of coronavirus cases in India.
