Let’s Talk: COVID-19 Cases in Nizamuddin Markaz and Why We Should Care About PMCares

Let’s Talk about the COVID-19 cases in New Delhi that are linked to the meeting of the Tablighi Jamaat.

Let’s Talk about the COVID-19 cases in New Delhi that are linked to the meeting of the Tablighi Jamaat. Reports say around 90 cases in the country are linked to the event which took place on March 13-15. It goes without saying that the conduct of such an event at that time was irresponsible. Yet if we look at the coverage around it, especially on television media, we see huge amounts of venom and slander. There is a clear attempt to communalise the coverage of case around the incident at a time when we should be dealing with it in a scientific and united way. Familiar arguments about the Muslim community are being thrown around on channels and opinion columns. This stigmatization can have a direct impact on our handling of the crisis itself.
