| [Daily Pioneer] At a time when the Union and State Governments and institutions are working with the single determination to contain COVID-19, the Tablighi Jammat has turned out to be a spoiler The latest estimates of the Union Health Ministry indicate that over 35 per cent of the COVID-19 cases that are springing up in the country have their origins in the conference organised by the Tablighi Jamaat, an Islamic evangelical movement, in New Delhi in the second half of March, which was in gross violation of State Government orders. At a time when the Union Government, State Governments and every national institution is working with single-minded determination and focus to contain the pandemic that has affected over a million patients globally and claimed over 50,000 lives, the Tablighi Jammat has turned out to be a spoiler. Displaying gross irresponsibility by flouting the orders of the Delhi Government, the Jamaat held a conference of thousands of its members. The congregation continued even as devotees were barred entry in the most popular temples, including the Balaji Temple in Tirupati, the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, the Sai Baba temple in Shirdi, the Dargah of Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti in Ajmer and the Haji Ali Dargah in Mumbai. Lakhs of other temples, churches and religious places remained closed as per Government orders in their areas. |

| #6 Around 27000 Jamaatis and assorted sasquatches Running the control experiment? Agreed that it is attempted mass murder. Or they need to be shown Allah’s message for them without interference. |

| #4 Good news. Well, for some. I have it from someone responsible for inspecting the quarantine efforts. Around 27000 Jamaatis and assorted sasquatches have been rounded up by now and isolated in concrete storage sheds, empty buildings and cordoned off structures with barred windows. Food is thrown in and water is piped via tap. In some places, there are 300 men in a single structure. Toilets are attached but they like to shit outside as a form of protest. For three days now, attendant staff has refused to clean for them and nurses will no longer serve them. In fact, they'd very much like to stop throwing in the food too. |

| #2 The Deputy Inspectors General of Himachal and Uttrakhand have ordered the charging of such spreaders with the attempt to murder. The NSC met Sunday night on telecon, discussed sending directives to all agencies to apply the terrorism acts on these people. It is the SC that is the biggest obstacle in this now. A way is being sought to have them agree. |
