Haridwar: Hundreds test positive for Covid at Kumbh Mela

[yuba]

Nobody's bashing the Hindu faith my sensitive Sikh friend.

It's not what I see mate and the Indians are at it as well. And I'm, not a sensitive sikh i heard a lot worse nothing new its just getting boring nothing new same insults at each other. Dont know why you had to mention my faith . Bashing each other's faith is not making anyone tough it shows a lack of respect for others and a failure somewhere in the upbringing. Dont consider someone who lives by respecting others faith and culture as a sensitive weakling . I was always taught to judge the man not his faith dont be a bully never be bullied wounds heal but backing down the feeling never goes away so not sensitive but just feelling old miss my family and bored out my head and these the times im tempted to get a packet so come here and try to learn but that the old pdf these days its what i described . Carry on my brother im gonna listen to Led zeppelin and see someone lose their shit on pdf

Spot the Difference,

Pic 1. Devotees gathered to take holy dip in Ganga river after submitting covid19 negative report!

Pic 2. Radical Islamists have gathered demanding the beheading of a Hindu priest!

You dont see them spitting on people or beating health care workers.

Those who have problem with mela will pretend below never happened.

CoVid is Temporary,

Hindu Hate is Forever.

Fascinating stuff. Didn't they close a Masjid pretense of Corona and simultaneously let this happen. Wah Modi Wah.. But sanu ki, lagay raho...

@Andhadhun you were saying all people were tested and it is not like Tableeghi jamat?

I remember a while back there was criticism of tableeghi jamat about something...ppl saying that they were responsible for spreading covid...bcuz of some gathering or something like that.
I wonder if those ppl are gonna hold all these ppl who attended the kumbh mela to the same standard.
Let the games begin

Attempts to draw false equivalence between the Kumbh Mela and Tablighi Jamaat congregation do not make sense: Here’s why

There are fundamental differences between the two incidents despite the desperation in certain circles to draw false equivalences in order to maintain the 'secular fabric' of the country.

The Kumbh Mela has been underway since the 1st of April in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. Visuals of the Mela have begun attracting criticism from people online. Some with malicious intentions have drawn comparisons between the Kumbh Mela and the Tablighi Jamaat congregation at Markaz Nizamuddin last year.

There are fundamental differences between the two incidents despite the desperation in certain circles to draw false equivalences in order to maintain the ‘secular fabric’ of the country. It is also being suggested that the congregation is in violation of Covid-19 rules, again a clear case of misinformation.

The Uttarakhand Government has permitted the Kumbh Mela to proceed with strict rules and regulations. There are rules in place to ensure the safety of citizens. A Covid-19 negative RT-PCR report, not more than 72 hours prior to arrival, has been mandatory for attending the festival. As a consequence, the crowd this year is much lower than previous years.

In addition, all entry-points to Uttarakhand have Covid-19 testing points. At Haridwar Railway Station, passengers either have to produce a negative RT-PCR test or go through the same by the health department. Sanitizer dispensers have been set up at Har ki Paudi and special Covid-19 isolation centers have been set up as well.

Masks and social distancing are also being enforced to the extent that it is possible. Therefore, clearly, rules have been enforced in order to mitigate the possible spread of the novel Coronavirus. Contrast all such precautions with the Tablighi Jamaat congregation at Markaz Nizamuddin last year.

It was still the early days of the pandemic and the virus was not widespread as it is now. Thousands were confined within a single structure in extremely confined places without any adequate arrangement for Covid restrictions.

To make matters worse, attempts were made to hide the extent of infection and attendees of the Markaz Nizamuddin carried the virus far and wide across the lengths and breadths of the country with them. When authorities pleaded them to come forward on their own, they refused to do so.
When authorities managed to track them down, in some instances, there was violence because the Jamaatis were not willing to subject themselves to isolation voluntarily. Even among those who were transferred to hospitals and isolation units, there were many who engaged in deplorable conduct that included sexual harassment and spitting on purpose on doctors and nurses.

All of this contributed to the negative coverage the Tablighi Jamaat received. If the matter was restricted to infection at Markaz Nizamuddin alone, then most people would have been sympathetic to them. However, the matter immediately escalated into uncooperative conduct, sexual harassment of medical stuff, defecating in inappropriate places and deliberate attempts to flout law and order. It was such horrifying behaviour that led to the negative coverage.

For instance, there were the occasions in Delhi when Jamaatis spat on healthcare workers. In Uttar Pradesh, those lodged at the Ghaziabad Hospital made lewd remarks, roamed around the hospital naked and made obscene gestures at the female healthcare staff. In Kanpur, some of them again misbehaved with the hospital staff. Some at another location even demanded that they be served beef. These are only a few specific incidents but the list is endless.

Such behaviour is entirely absent at the Kumbh Mela. There are devotees participating in auspicious events observing due religious norms. For people to even attempt to draw an equivalence between the event and the Tablighi Jamaat congregation reeks of desperation and the fervent desire to sweep the atrocious conduct of the Jamaatis under the rug.

Furthermore, there is evidence to indicate that transmission of the virus is comparatively much lower in fully open spaces than indoors. Needless to say, the crowds at the Kumbh Mela are outdoors while the Markaz Nizamuddin congregation was held indoors.

In light of all this information, the attempts to draw false equivalence between the two falls flat.

Are you a lawyer for Uttarakhand govt?

 

[Andhadhun]

What's the number of covid cases after kumbh mela? As in how many of those who participated...test positive afterwards?

Of 50,000 people tested, 1002 were found positive.

That is an infection rate of 0.02 %.


Meanwhile here is Muslims in India practicing Social distancing while demanding Beheading of Hindu saint.

ZERO COVid protocol followed,

Dont know why you had to mention my faith .

Thats like asking why water is wet.
Most of us only get to hear on news the influence of likes of Anjem Chaudhary on some sections of Pak diaspora in UK. Here we get to see it first hand

 

[kingQamaR]

we make fun now, at your hypocrisy bJp trolls had taken the moral high ground in lecturing and attacking Indian Muslims for doing same in corvid. Your Indian media joined in attacking your own Indian Muslim community for spreading corvid. now we fast forward, we see pics taken from this Hindus festival, I reckon there must be millions squashed together like a sardine can. hate to think, no toilets or mask anything to stop the spread corvid was missing this is a complete fail.

But u said that all who attended kumbh mela...had to provide covid test results(being negative). So why the 1002 infections?
Also...how many days have passed between kumbh mela and the 1002 covid cases? Did all attendees get tested? Is it possible that we will see more cases come forward as more are tested in the coming days?

I think the ONLY hypocrisy being exposed is that of the Hinduphobes.
