New Delhi: After the death of two people due to “negligence and inhuman treatment” surfaced in the quarantine facilities, , Delhi Minorities Commission (DMC) on Saturday asked the Delhi government to release those Tablighi Jamaat members who have not tested positive for coronavirus and they have completed twice the stipulated quarantine period of 14 days as COVID-19 suspects in quarantine camps in the city.
In a letter written to the Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, the DMC said that the people brought to quarantine camps from Tabligh Markaz in Hazrat Nizamuddin will be completing 28 days tomorrow, Monday, 27 April 2020, which is twice the mandatory period for Covid19 suspects’ quarantine as per US and WHO guidelines. This means that these people are being unnecessarily kept in detention when 14 days is the longest period for the appearance of Coronavirus symptoms in an infected person. The letter pointed that people in other quarantine centres have been allowed to go home after 14 days if they tested negative.
The Commission said in its letter signed by Chairman Dr. Zafarul-Islam Khan and Member Kartar Singh Kochhar that “it will in the fitness of things that all such people who have spent 28 days in these camps and did not test positive should be allowed to go home or at least allowed to live somewhere else in Delhi while the lockdown continues.”
The Commission further said in its letter that there are thousands of inmates at present in Covid19 quarantine camps across Delhi like Sultanpuri, Wazirabad, Narela and Dwarka etc. Supply of food and medical care is not satisfactory in these camps.
The Commission further said that these quarantined people include elderly as well as people with health issues like diabetes and heart problems. Two of them, who were diabetic, died in recent days in Sultanpuri camp due to denial of adequate medical care and failure to supply medicines and food in time.
The Commission added in its letter that this is the month of fasting, Ramzan, and most of the Muslim inmates in these camps are fasting. Under the conditions prevailing in the quarantine centres, they are finding it hard to cope with the harsh life in these camps.
The Commission said that keeping these people in detention more than twice the mandatory quarantine period is creating ill-will in the Muslim community and may lead to court cases.
In a related development, Delhi Minorities Commission came to know that the situation in the quarantine camp at the Police Training School at Wazirabad is even worse. This camp is supervised by District Magistrate North who seemingly is oblivious of the conditions of the inmates in this camp where fans and even mugs and buckets are not provided and inmates are not allowed to buy anything from outside.
Saturday was the first day of the fasting month of Ramzan but the inmates at Wazirabad kept fast on empty stomachs because pre-dawn food was not supplied. Then for breaking their fast at sunset yesterday, they were provided each with just two bananas and three dates while again no predawn meal was provided. This is here that Jamiat Ulama stepped in and provided them predawn food, which is a matter of shame for the administrators of the camp.
The Commission issued a notice yesterday to the District Magistrate North in this respect. On knowing that the situation did not improve in the Wazirabad camp even today, Sunday, the Commission has sent a second notice to District Magistrate North directing the DM to personally supervise the supply of the essentials, especially in-time provision of adequate food to the inmates.
Meanwhile, the Delhi government has initiated inquiry into the death of two diabetic people from Tamil Nadu in Sultanpuri quarantine center. The Tamil Nadu also came into action after Muslim Mirror has published a story highlighting plight of Tablighi Jamaat members in quarantines facilities who hailed from Tamil Nadu. The wide outrage in the state forced the TN government to ask the Delhi government to take care of these people properly.
Allah will avenge for every poor Muslim these fascists have imprisoned in worst conditions possible for Humanity.
The Delhi Tabligh Jamat participants are facing unrealistic detention camps due to the misinformation spread by the paid media channel close to the ruling elite.
I see their pattern of campaign is similar one run against Islamic Evangelist Dr Zakir Naik run IRF. First started with spreading anti-nationalism, now ED raids and media persons grilling all leads to the same.
It is well planned campaign to stop the spread of Islamic teachings to the poor of India so that sustain campaign of Hindutava forces of economic blockade forcing them to accept Hinduism with the threat or coercive.
So this Corna virus has given them opportunity in the wide platform to target the Tablig Jamat to eradicate Islam as Spanish.
Jai Hind
