'Talibani crime by Tablighi Jamaat': Naqvi on Markaz gathering amid Coronavirus pandemic
A huge religious gathering was held at the Markaz building in Nizamuddin between March 13-15.
New Delhi: Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi referring to the Nizamuddin Markaz event, on Wednesday, said that it is a "Talibani crime" by the Tablighi Jamaat and such a criminal act cannot be forgiven.
Speaking to ANI, Naqvi said: "They have put the lives of many people in danger. Strict action should be taken against such people and organisations that defy government directions."
"This has been done intentionally and this is unfortunate. People who are not obeying the lockdown should not be forgiven," he added.
