Members of Islamist organisation-Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath continue to stage protest against the CAA, NRC and NPR violating the High Court order. The protests have been organised near the Madras High Court in Chennai.

Even as the country is battling the pandemic of coronavirus, with the number of cases steadily on the rise, a raft of Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath members along with other demonstrators gathered to mark their protest, defying the order against mass gathering and brazenly undermining the government’s efforts to limit the spread of coronavirus.

Thowheed group’s flagrant disregard of the public health safety amidst the looming coronavirus outbreak mirrors the blatant transgression of the orders banning public gathering by ‘protesters’ at Shaheen Bagh who have refused to follow the containment orders and decided not to curl off their protest. 

‘Protesters’ at Shaheen Bagh exhibited disrespect towards public health system and have taken it as an ego tussle. They are in no mood to relinquish their protest even as quarantine is being observed in several cities across the country in the wake of novel coronavirus.

So far, Indian authorities have succeeded in curbing the community transmission of the deadly virus. However, a protest site like Shaheen Bagh and Thowheed protest in Chennai with hundreds of so-called protesters demonstrating against the CAA, offers a conducive environment for the virus to spread and multiply, which may result in a sudden explosion of the deadly contagious disease as witnessed in Italy and Spain.
