Islamic religious leaders in India invited hundreds of preachers from foreign countries for religious activities. Foreigners who came on visa belonged to a huge group that was responsible for a coronavirus cluster spread in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Pakistan.
Foreign preachers coming from outside have to get a missionary visa to preach. However, they lied to Indian authorities saying that they came on a travel visa. All of them have been blacklisted today by Indian authorities.
Now the actual events: from 12th to 22nd March, national and state governments passed multiple orders banning gatherings of large numbers and mandatory isolation for foreigners who came in India in the last few days. They ignored all of these orders and conducted preachings on 14th and 15th March where a large number of Muslims gathered in close quarters.
A full-scale lockdown was announced after 10 days. In these 10 days, they still stay put in close proximity ignoring all orders of social distancing and ban on large gatherings.
Obviously this blew up, hundreds found infected in their group. Both Indian Muslims and Foreign preachers ran into different states across India risking infecting many others. Some cooperated with govt, but most of them are hiding in local mosques and have switched off their phones (they even supplied wrong residence address, smh). Indian Muslims are defending them in the last 48 hours by whataboutery and propaganda on social media. Not a single Muslim leader has condemned the incident in India. On the other hand, they are blaming the government. When they were taken to hospitals, they spat on cops and doctors. You can see in the video what happened when doctors and cops went to search for an on-the-run member of the religious group hiding in Muslim ghetto with the full support of local residents.
