Delhi Should Not Have Given Permission For International Congregation: Pawar
NCP chief Sharad Pawar said that authorities in Delhi should not have given permission to the Tablighi Jamaat for holding an international congregation at Nizamuddin.
Pawar said that the NCP is in the ruling alliance alongside the Shiv Sena and the Congress, earlier denied Jamaat permission for an event.
"The country wouldn’t have experienced a spike in COVID-19 positive cases if the permission to hold the international congregation was denied to Jamaat", said Pawar.
He also stressed that the country needs to stand united and no attempt should be made that could lead to suspicion, animosity and social divide. Pawar cited another example of social distancing from Maharashtra, where a bull and horse race competition was organized at a village in Solapur district.
