After
various social organizations, the Tablighi Jamaat is now facing strong
criticism from the Muslim community, for its action to violate the country’s
measures bid to curve the spread of Coronavirus in India.
The Shia Central Waqf Board (SCWB), Uttar
Pradesh, Chief, Wasim Rizvi, filed a criminal complaint against Tablighi Jamaat
chief Maulana Saad in Delhi’s Hazrat Nizamuddin police station. Rizvi has
sought slapping of sedition, waging war against the country, murder, attempt to
murder and criminal conspiracy charges against the Sunni organization.
“The main culprit, Maulana Saad, must be
booked under Sections 121, 124A, 188, 269, 307, 302 read with Section 120B for
acts and omissions endangering the lives of scores of individuals”, the FIR
application reads.
The head of the UP Shia Central Waqf
board wants these charges to be brought against the head of Tablighi Jamaat
that organized a religious gathering, directly or indirectly, linked to at
least 11 COVID-19 deaths and over 150 cases.
Though, it is believed that the actual
number of persons who were tested positive for the novel coronavirus disease
after attending the Jamaat’s Nizamuddin Markaz must have gone up to 295.
“It was a pre-planned agenda for waging a
terror war against the country”, said the UP Waqf Board chief in his FIR
application.
