The Supreme Court today asked the Central government whether the thousands of farmers camped in and around Delhi in protest over the past many weeks are “protected from Covid-19”. The court sought to liken the situation to the one involving the Tablighi Jamaat congregation in the capital last year that went on to become one of India’s biggest clusters of coronavirus cases. “Do not know whether farmers are protected from COVID? Have you learnt from your experience what happened (referring to the Tablighi congregation)? The same problem may arise from the farmers’ agitation also,” the bench headed by Chief Justice Sharad Arvind Bobde asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.
