The Tablighi Jamaat members, who had attended the congregation at the Nizamuddin Markaz in Delhi have appealed to citizens and fellow Muslims to follow Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s instructions on lockdown and ways to fight coronavirus.
In the holy month of Ramzan, Arshad Ahmed, from Amravati, who had attended the congregation, appealed to fellow Muslims to follow all instructions in place and continue to do namaz at home itself.
“Whatever the government is saying or doing should be followed. What Prime Minister Narendra Modi is saying should be followed. We must cooperate. We should go beyond religion and caste. We have kept roza [fast] and if this lockdown continues, we have decided that we will be at home and offer namaz,” he said.
Shabana Parveen, who had also attended the congregation, asserted that social distancing is a very important precaution.
“We had very good facilities here. Food, medicine and accommodation were very good. Whenever we required anything, we were provided the same on time. I have learnt that what the government is saying should be followed. We should properly follow social distancing and masks should be used at all time,” Shabana Parveen said.
Both Parveen and Ahmed have volunteered to donate plasma if required, calling it a service to humanity.
The Jamaat members had been brought to Jhajjar for treatment after they were asked to leave Nizamuddin Markaz in March end.
The members of the group, which was under attack for alleged misbehaviour with health officials, praised medical professionals attending to them said the facility “felt like home”.
