The state BJP on Friday said a High Court order ‘to locate people linked to Tablighi Jamaat and have returned to the state’, points out the total failure on part of state government to trace the remaining people linked to the religious sect.
Citing the court’s order to undertake ‘intensive search operations’ to locate the remaining people linked to the Tablghi Jamaat, as they may be potential carriers of the COVID-19 infection, state BJP chief Vikram Usendi said the Congress government has been highlighting the failure of the Centre, should now seek apology on the issue by taking moral responsibility.
A double bench of the high court after hearing a batch of petitions relating to different issues, passed the order. The court has asked the state government to submit a status reports by April 13.
Seven new coronavirus positive cases, shows a total failure of the state government as it had failed to isolate the people linked to the Jamaat, Usendi said.
The BJP state president said the Congress has been unnecessarily pulling the name of the BJP by linking it with Jamaat, which reflects a low level of political thoughts.
Usendi further said that instead of cooperating to fight the Covid-19 epidemic, the Congress leaders and state chief minister has been spreading political misinformation on the pandemic, which reflects the true character of the Congress party.
He further that said the state government had not initiated timely action even after they had the knowledge of arrival of such people in the state.
Usendi urged the Congress leaders to work positively instead of spreading political hate.
