Tablighis Who “Sinned” Claim To Be “Corona Warriors”: Abbas Naqvi

Union Minister of Minority Affairs, Abbas Naqvi said there is a “well-planned dirty Tablighi conspiracy” to prove every Indian Muslim as a Tablighi.

New Delhi: On Monday, Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said those who committed the ‘sin’ of spreading the novel coronavirus through their “criminal conduct” are now claiming to be “corona warriors”.

“Those Tablighi committed sin to spread corona through their ‘criminal conduct’ are claiming themselves to be ‘corona warriors’. Amazing..instead of being ashamed of their crime, Tablighi(s) are insulting lakhs of corona warriors,” Mr Naqvi said in a tweet.

“This is called ‘chori aur seena zori’,” Mr Naqvi added.

“Of course some patriotic Indian Muslims have donated plasma to the needy but it’s not correct to call all of them Tablighi. There is a ‘well-planned dirty Tablighi conspiracy’ to prove every Indian Muslim as Tablighi,” he said.

The remarks come after 10 attendees of Tablighi Jamaat, who visited its congregation and tested positive for the novel coronavirus, have come ahead to donate their plasma to treat severally-ill COVID-19 patients in Delhi.

Many Tablighi Jamaat attendees at various quarantine centres have also offered to donate their plasma for treatment of novel coronavirus patients, reported PTI.

Abbas Naqvi, last week while talking about instances of Muslims being targetted for the surge in novel coronavirus cases after Tablighi Jamaat congregation in Delhi, had said the entire Muslim community cannot be held responsible for one group’s “crime”.

Earlier, the minority affairs minister, in response to OIC criticism, asserted “secularism and harmony is not a “political fashion”, but a “perfect passion” for India and Indians.
