Tablighis deliberately spread corona, action will be taken: CM Yogi

- Worship, Namaz, do everything at home, public religious programs are banned, saving lives is more important: Yogi Adityanath

Lucknow, Ta. 2 April 2020, Saturday

The spread of Corona virus infection is increasing in the country. The Center and the states are working together to prevent it. Cases of corona virus are also on the rise in Uttar Pradesh. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that we are in a much better position compared to other countries in the fight against Korona, but we still need to be vigilant. We are making a comprehensive plan to avoid Corona. Yogi Adityanath has advised people to perform puja-namaz from home. He said saving lives is more important in the present times. In such a situation, people must perform their religious duties at home.

Yogi Adityanath said that people have got a lot of relief from the long lockdown in the country on the instructions of Prime Minister Modi. A group of ministers has also been formed in Uttar Pradesh along with officials. We are working on preventing coronary infection in phases. The month of Ramadan is currently underway and Hindu religious festivals will begin in the near future. In this context, Yogi Adityanath gave a clear warning that in the current situation, people should perform pooja, namaz in their own homes instead of in temples or mosques. We have completely banned public religious programs in the state. One should save one's life and the lives of others by performing pooja or namaz at home.

Yogi Adityanath said that in view of the transition of Koro we had talked to all the religious leaders just before Ramadan. All of these people said that Corona has to survive this epidemic as well as save the people. We usually go to temples and mosques for pooja and namaz, but pooja-namaz can also be done from home. He said that instead of temples in Navratri, people performed poojas and all religious rituals from home. We also said about Ramadan that you people should fast in your own homes. No public event can take place during this time, as we have to fully comply with social distance.

The Uttar Pradesh chief minister said the corona virus changes its form along with nature. In this we will succeed only by fully adhering to social distance and awakening the people. Facing corona is a challenge for us considering the population in Uttar Pradesh, but we will make the state completely corona-free. The situation in the state was very much under control, but the people of Tablighi Jamaat spoiled the situation. Without giving any information, these people infiltrated the densely populated areas and then the transition gained momentum. He added that any Tablighi tribe hiding the truth would not be spared. Action will be taken against all.

The tribes have hidden the transmission of the corona virus. This is an intentional act, an unforgivable crime. If he had not done this, the cases of Corona would be much less today. Yogi has blamed the Tablighi community for the spread of Corona in Uttar Pradesh. The tribes have spread the disease by hiding it in many places. In Uttar Pradesh, more than 5,000 tribes have done this by going to many places.

Today, there are about two thousand active cases in Uttar Pradesh, out of which more than one and a half thousand are cases. Police have arrested him and quarantined him. The situation would have been somewhat different if the people of Tablighi Jamat had come forward on their own by paying attention to the symptoms of Koro in time. Their role was much broader in the states in the country where more cases have come up.
