TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Holding #TablighiJamaat members responsible for the spread of #COVID19, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister #YogiAdityanath has said that being infected with a virus is not a crime but to hide it is definitely one. The chief minister said action would be taken against them for the “crime”.
Speaking at a programme of a news channel on Saturday, Adityanath said, “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 #UttarPradesh 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 said.
