Sindh govt to screen 1950 Tableeghi

Spread of Coronavirus within the Deobandi preaching party or Tableeghi Jamaat’s members vindicated the viewpoint of experts in this regard.

Provincial minister Dr Azra Pechuho said that Sindh Health Department has all set to complete the screening during current week.

She also cited majority of senior citizens among Tableeghi Jamaat members.

Nawabshah has 307 such Tableeghi Jamaat members while Tando Allah Yar has 248 such cases.

Government has prepared for screening of these people and following people.

242 in Thatta, 241 in Hyderabad, 231 in Nasushero Feroze, 222 in Dadu, 128 in Umerkot and 105 in Badin.

As many as 105 in Tando Mohammad Khan, 66 in Jamshoro and 44 members of Tableeghi Jamaat in Matiari would undergo screening.

Coronavirus from Saudi Arabia

Two people came from Saudi Arabia died of Coronavirus in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were neither Shia Zaireen nor came from Iran or via Taftan border.

Since the government exempted them from test and quarantine, they returned homes and joined family and friends.

Now they have died but who can say with certainty that they had not communicated the pandemic Coronavirus to the people who they met.

WHO says it pandemic but Pakistanis don’t

In Pakistan, nobody cared to take it as pandemic. They aimed at pilgrims coming from Iran; therefore, Shia pilgrims are the only Pakistanis who have underwent continuous quarantine that has not ended so far despite passage of a month.

The US-funded secular and non-religious activists and Saudi-funded radicals and violent extremists of outlawed terror outfit such as Sipah Sahaba (ASWJ)/Lashkar-e-Jhangvi are on same page against Shia pilgrims.

How Coronavirus is spreading

Due to their narrative against one particular country and one particular sect, people have no idea about over 800,000 people who came from abroad but live among them without test/quarantine.

So is the case of government of Pakistan. That too had exempted over 800,000 from quarantine/test and restricted the precautionary measures to Iran and Shia pilgrims.

Now, the entire Pakistan is bracing to face the consequence of bias, discrimination and unjustifiable exemption to people coming from rest of the world to Pakistan from quarantine and test. Zaireen (pilgrims) still remain under quarantine despite maltreatment for a month. Coronavirus is roaming across Pakistan with more than 800,000 people!.
