New Delhi, Apr 16: Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Thursday directed state waqf boards to ensure strict implementation of lockdown and social distancing guidelines during the holy month of Ramzan starting next week amid the coronavirus pandemic.
At a meeting via video conferencing, Naqvi asked the state waqf boards' officials to create awareness among people to offer prayers and perform other religious rituals like "iftar (breaking of fast)" during Ramzan, which begins on April 24 or 25, staying inside their homes.
More than seven lakh registered mosques, eidgahs, imambadas, dargahs and other religious and social institutions come under state waqf boards across the country. The Central Waqf Council is the regulatory body of state waqf boards in India.
"We should cooperate with health workers, security forces, administrative officers, sanitation workers. They are working for our safety and well-being even putting their own lives at risk in this coronavirus pandemic," Naqvi said.
"We should also demolish rumours and misinformation being spread about quarantine and isolation centres by creating awareness among people that such centres are only meant to protect people, their families and the society from the pandemic," the minister said.
Naqvi told all the state waqf boards and religious and social organisations that everyone should remain cautious of any type of fake news and conspiracies aimed at creating misinformation.
"Authorities have been working for safety and well-being of all citizens of the country without any discrimination. Such type of rumours and conspiracies are a nefarious design to weaken the fight against coronavirus," he said.
"We should work united to win this fight against corona by defeating any type of rumour, misinformation and conspiracy," the minister said.
Naqvi asked officials of all the state waqf boards to play an active and effective role in ensuring that people follow the guidelines of the Union Home Ministry, state governments and the Central Waqf Council while fulfilling religious responsibilities during Ramzan.
In view of the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, all religious and social activities and mass gatherings in all the temples, gurdwaras, churches and other religious and social places of the country have been stopped, he said.
Similarly, any mass gatherings in mosques and other Muslim religious places of the country has also been stopped, Naqvi said.
He said that due to the COVID-19 threat, religious leaders as well as religious and social organisations from all regions of the country, have appealed to people to offer prayers and perform all other religious rituals staying inside their homes during Ramzan.
Most of the Muslim nations of the world have also banned mass gatherings at mosques and other religious places during the holy month, he pointed out.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in cooperation with all the state governments, has been working effectively for the safety and well-being of the people, he said.
The cooperation of the people has brought great relief to India in the war against COVID-19 Naqvi said, adding that several challenges are still there before the country.
"We can defeat these challenges of the coronavirus pandemic by following all the guidelines of the central and state governments strictly," he asserted.
Chairman and senior officials from state waqf boards such as Uttar Pradesh (Shia & Sunni), Andhra Pradesh, Bihar (Shia & Sunni), Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, West Bengal, Andaman & Nicobar, Assam, Manipur, among others participated in the meeting.
State waqf boards from Rajasthan, Telangana, Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Maharashtra, Odisha, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and Uttarakhand also participated.

They are our enemies and not innocent. police.
I can see a lot of Muslims comments here are as if they are Pepsi ed by the death of these fools. Did they think about the poor policeman whom they killed before jail breaking ?

B***ards are cremated after dipping them in pig fat

Inna lillahi wainna ilahi rajioon... May Allah grant them Jannah if they are really innocents...
No doubt, its pre planned MURDER not encounter...
Saffron police have to answer below questions
1. Is only one police there to guard them? where are the other police?
2. Why only these 8 person escaped from Jail?
3. How they used bed sheet to cross high wall?
4. How is it possible that they were made encounter on same spot all together?
5. If any person throw stones at police then encounter will be solution?
Purely this police have pre planned to make murder of Muslims... We cannot call him as terrorists because till now no court has proved their status to terror activities... Because of saffron police & politicians these innocents were fixed purposefully to make drama.... For above case need probe against the police who made this murder & if he found guilty then he should be hanged without any delay.....
May Allah protect innocent muslims who are arrested in false cases...
Well planned Surgical encounter.....
as per Mr. Parikker' (Defense Minister) previous certificate to RSS will take response ...
Ache din once again....
planned encounter!!!
Unanswered questions:
1. 8 so called \SIMI\" members was in one cell which is against protocol.
2.Before sunset all cell must be close and key should be at jail office, how come they came out of jail?
3.Highly secured jail got only 1 officer to monitor and only 1 officer got attacked? Prisoners can broke jail by attacking one officer??????
4.Once broke the jail, other prisoners were quiet while they were moving around..!
5. Highly secured jail doesn't have CCTV and only 1 officer to monitor?
6.Using spoon as weapon they came out of cell and killed officer..!
7. Why Police kills those 8 members even after they are unarmed? If they had arms who gave them within hour? How they got sports shoe and well cloths? Why don't shot on leg when they are unarmed?
8.If they are dangerous terrorist or criminals, they would have spread different way when free bird.
LKG students also can guess this is well scripted and well planned murder by Police to divert Vyapam and Failure of Govt."
@Rajesh
Even a lay man would say its totally a fake encounter. No need to celebetate. The communal govt has did it on the eve of deepavali. Very simple to understand.
Anything can happen when people who are responsible for murdering thousands i
Scripted encounter.
Sure. Planned Encounter..
Mashallah ... what a shot so 72x8 virgins please book for this guys ...:) hip hip hurray ... kindly enlighten us who allots babes in heaven :) not a loss for nation . so party time as muslim terrorists were killed . kudos to police for saving tax payers money .

Dear Ahmed
How much funds you have received from Sangh Parivar to post this comment ? Either you are an agent of RSS or with fake name posted the comment. Before commenting on Wahabi's try to study about Wahabis.
Bopanna.... when you feel Muslims are totally ungrateful wretches. then why are you eating the income of a muslim country and feeding your wife and children with that criminal income .... Why cant you leave saudi and serve the Indian army and feed the PAPI PET ( stomach ) of yourself, wife and children with dignified income by serving the army.....shame on you for the sake of hunger, you are ready to have any shit .....
Innalillhiwainnailahirajoon God will punish those who are guilty
Mandeyalli Bondillada Bopanna - Vishnu raped Tulasi Devi, was he a Muslim? Krishna raped 16,108 girls was he a Muslim? 5 Pandavas repeatedly raped Draupadi at the behest of Krishna - were they Muslims? Brahma raped his own daughter Saraswati - Was he a Muslim? Kunti Devi was raped by SURYA, YAMA, VAYU, INDRA were they Muslims? Madri was raped by ASHWINIS - were they Muslims? Vishnu was raped by Shiva to produce Ayyappa - homosexuals having a child- Hollywood too cant imagine this ...the list is endless....
Well done.. they killed innocent in the early morning. So this is totally acceptable ..NIA please go after PFI leaders and KFD .becoz of these groups fringe groups associated with sangh parivar unleash terror against innocent Muslims. Time has come to take firm action against PFI, KFD and other wahabist backed organisations.
For sure it is a pre planed act from police. What is the need of killing all 8 ? Did they counter attacked police with Guns? If not then what was the need to kill all? There is something behind this story.
There is no doubt, this is a planned murder. May Allah forgive the sin of all the eight brothers and bestow them Jannah In sha Allah.
This is 2016 and all can understand what is reality and what is drama.. Bopu what are you doing in KSA? YOu should join armed forces here instead of having bread and butter from the one who u hate..
No Doubt, fake encounter. Elections coming up in northern states. When surgical strikes drama subsides, we have this new story diverting people's attention from real issues.
CD, should be faster in updating its news . According to other news channels, it is claimed that these eight SIMI members were trying to ATTACK THE ARMED FORCES WITH SPOONS..!! Yes, you read it right with - SPOONS !
There a Rabid Sanghis in the comments section. Do not pay heed or respond.
cold blood murder. total 8+1 .
well planned drama. if properly investigated the truth will come out. truth ??? it is not possible??? in RSS controlled state.???
need supreme court to investigate the truth.
need to investigate by our ex judges like Mr. Santosh Hegde.
Bopanna had some bad experience while he is residing in K.S.A. He said something bad about muslims community because he was the victim of rape. Muslims raped him, killed him and pillaged his property. That was the reason for his frustration.
Only so called SIMI members got chance to escape highly secured Jail..!
Those don't have charges, will die in encounter. Those who are real terror like Aseemananda, Sadhvi gets bail.
Failure of Govt. cover up by scripted sensational news as gift of Diwali.
In Hyderabad also did the same last year prisoners died with hand cuff \ severe fight between Police and alleged terrorist in Police van\".
It happens when Encounter specialists ruling our country."
Bopanna defines Islam is the religion of peace and the way of life and he accepted that there are black sheeps in the community.. Being residing in saudi arabia he learn a lot about Islam. Hope he will practice more and one day he hill embrace it. May Allah give him hidayah.
Why muslims are being encountered.....there are many rss terrorists are in jail....why no encounter....strange....well planned....
Another Fake encounter................why to kill? because they were Muslims.......all these encounters are to Hide VYAPAM Scam.......
Ashwin........8 Muslims Escaped from Jail ......and thousand Fake Hindutwa Terrorists are happy ....
As per Muslims, terrorism has no religion. So why muzzies here are crying for them?
Well planed encounter, bopanna islam is the only way of life and peace,,,, study well, if you do not study you will be like bopal police, black heart and join hands with rss..
To complete the DRAMA 8 + 1 innocents were eliminated while real Terrorists are ruling the country.
this sounds strange to me . this is a plot where they were told to run and shot at them. we muslims are ready to die, any how we have to die today or tomorrow, if they are killed for false charges then they are martyrs.
and to Bopanna you are living in a muslim country did any muslim arabs kill any one for the sake of hindu religion. dont just bark like a dog
All hate speeches are given by your so called leaders of BD and VHP.
Total Conspiracy!!!
This is a planned Encounter, 100%
This has to happen one day when innocents are framed detained and languish for years without trials. On the other hand convicted terrorists like aseemanand, sadhvi, prohit and other gujarat 2002 murderers supposedly to be hanged by this time are either acquitting, getting bail from their respective BJP ruled states.
True followers of the Religion of \Peace\" indeed.
But the definition of \"Peace\" is this :\"Strike terror in the hearts of the Unbelievers....\"
Kill the Unbelievers (Hindus).
Rape the Unbelievers (Hindus)
Pillage their property
In short, Muslims are totally ungrateful wretches."
8 MUSLIM terrorists escaped from jail..
