Tablighi Jamaat attendees fear ostracisation.
| | | | | | | The stigma of being seen as a virus vector magnified by the ever-present spectre of Islamophobia meant that several attendees are now living in fear of backlash from their neighbours. The Jamaat in the meantime has issued a series of press releases and clarifications in a bid to blunt a growing chorus of criticism — some well-intentioned, and some plain bigoted. Several attendees interviewed by HuffPost India said no restrictions on public gatherings were in the place at the time they travelled to Delhi for the congregation.
The fact that a single gathering has resulted in COVID-19 cases across the country illustrates just how quickly the virus can move, and the magnitude of the task of containing the novel coronavirus before a deluge of cases swamps India’s neglected public health system. |
