Owaisi is not right about Nizamuddin cluster issue

The Nizamuddin cluster has become the biggest headache in terms of contact-tracing for Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi and a couple of other States in the country.  As per BJP spokesperson GVL Narasimha Rao, Asaduddin Owaisi has the responsibility to chip in with his take on the issue when at least 200 attendees of the Tablighi Jamaat religious congregation are expected to be living in Hyderabad.  

“Why is he silent on the issue?  Is it not his concern?” Narasimha Rao asked on a TV channel.  

On his part, Owaisi is plugging articles that say that the Jamaat has done no wrong.  “When Modi announced Janata curfew for March 22, the ongoing programme in the Markaz was discontinued immediately. However, due to sudden cancellation of rail services across the country on March 21, a large group of visitors got stuck in Markaz premises,” says an article published by Frontline, something Owaisi has shared on Twitter.

But is it true?  Not at all.  Here is what Atishi, an AAP MLA, has to say about the dates of the lockdown: “The Delhi government had issued an order on 13th March, prohibiting gatherings of more than 200 persons. Therefore, the gathering was illegal.”  Owaisi is misleading everyone, it appears!
