Tabligi jamaat must not become excuse to blame Muslims for covid-19: Omar Abdullah

Srinagar, Mar 31 (PTK): National Conference vice president Omar Abdullah on Tuesday said Muslims should not be blamed for the spread of Coronavirus in the country as many will make Tabligi Jamaat an excuse to blame Muslims for Coronavirus.

He was reacting to netizens response to reports that several people who tested positive for COVID-19 had attended a congregation of Tabligh-e-Jamaat, a Muslim religious organisation, at Nizamuddin in Delhi earlier this month.

“Now the Tablighi Jamat will become a convenient excuse for some to vilify Muslims everywhere as if we created & spread COVID around the world,” tweeted Omar Abdullah.

Omar said those people who were associating the COVID-19 with the Tabligh-e-Jamaat were more dangerous than any virus.

“People tweeting stuff with hashtags like Tablighi virus are more dangerous than any virus nature could ever conjure up because their minds are sick while their bodies may very well be healthy,” he said. (PTK)
