Amidst pandemic Coronavirus scare, Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) activists have become one single factor responsible for spiking the overall number of COVID-19 cases in India which under the leadership of PM Modi is religiously following a nationwide lockdown to prevent its community spread. The irresponsible, albeit, criminal act of the TJ has not only taken lives of many of its Muslim followers but also spiked coronavirus numbers in at least 17 states & UTs including J&K & Ladakh, doubling the number at the rate of 4.2 days than 7.2 days if it had not happened.

The lockdown amidst coronavirus outbreak has quarantined us in our homes for no fault of ours. Our all out-of-home activities have abruptly come to stand still, making most of we ex-civil servants restless as to how to pass time. Family as well as the administration warned us against COVID-19, being above 60 years of age fall on high risk category which probably Coronavirus is fanatically looking for as their unwelcome ‘host’. And honestly nobody is willing to risk his life for nothing.

Iran has joined three other Islamic countries to express “anguish” on what they call “killing of Muslims” in recent communal riots in north-eastern Delhi. Turkey and Malaysia lost no time to react angrily on the incident. The OIC has also given vent to similar statement.
None of them has ventured to know the facts of the incident available only from the Ministry of External Affairs of the Government of India. Apparently, they have depended either on the sections of media usually critical of India or on what partisan sources conveyed to them.
