Tablighi Jamaat: Health dept officials face threats in Nizamabad

A report of health department personnel facing physical threats from attendees of the Tablighi Jamaat congregation has emerged today.  

Nizamabad BJP MP Arvind Dharmapuri has spoken of a female paramedic who today faced a threat when she went to Nizamabad to facilitate testing.  

“The women health department personnel, who went to a place in Nizamabad to take details of people returned from Delhi, in the wake of Markaz ruffle were abused and threatened.  They brazenly said, they won’t provide details even if they have cough or cold and an MIM corporator has threatened the women for asking details.  The deliberate inaction of the state govt in containing this deadly outbreak is putting millions others at acute risk (sic),” the MP today said.
