Any more insights into the “type” of religious gathering ? Was it a Jagrata? Was it VishnuPath ? Was it Kirtan ?
I’m sure some 2002 Brahmins were involved. https://t.co/PwOuyIKTGe

For him secularism gets battered if he names and shames muslims. He would’ve been more than happy if it was to be a Hindu gathering. He is unfit to be a secularist. https://t.co/oSicNd6ThV

The spineless journalist will not name the religious group when Islamists are involved! https://t.co/xdVLXp8pfu

Dear Rajdeep – any reason for not naming the religious denomination of thr congregation and area? Is this #NIZAMMUDIN? Don’t you think the organisers as well as the administration – #DelhiPolice and @ArvindKejriwal – should be called out like we do for @myogiadityanath for ex. https://t.co/phqkGTxZ3v

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Monday, ordered registration of an FIR against the Tablighi Jammat maulana for leading a congregation in West Nizamuddin in South Delhi.
Many who attended congregation in West Nizamuddin showed symptoms of coronavirus. Delhi government has also decided to launch a house-to-house mapping exercise in two nearby colonies on Tuesday to check for coronavirus cases.
On Monday, the Police and paramilitary personnel cordoned off a major area in Nizamuddin West in south Delhi. According to Delhi Police around 400 people were part of the religious gathering at Markaz building in Nizamuddin amid the coronavirus lockdown.
