Raipur, Apr 12: As many as 108 out of the 159 people that were quarantined by the Chhattisgarh government last week for allegedly taking part in Delhi’s Tablighi Jamaat congregation are Hindus, according to reliable sources.
The names of these 159 people, who were said to be in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area when the Tablighi Jamaat congregation was held mid-March, were mentioned in a list issued by the state home department last month.
The list has been accessed by the many media outlets. But, Raipur Collector S. Bharti Dasan and the state’s Principal Secretary, Home, Subrata Sahu, claimed no such list was issued.
However, a senior state home department official, who didn’t want to be named, said: “Listing of the names was done on the basis of location of mobile phones traced in Nizamuddin in the month of March during the period when congregation of Tablighi Jamaat was held.
“It was subsequently sent to the chief medical officers in the respective districts for further action,” the official added.
These 159 people have either been quarantined at their homes or at government isolation centres. The quarantine exercise took place between 31 March and 1 April.
Interestingly, almost all the people named in the list have denied attending the massive Jamaat congregation, which had seen the participation of over 3,000 people, including foreigners.
Under quarantine “forcefully”, these people alleged they are facing social boycott as they have been “linked to the Tablighi”.
Those placed under quarantine, told media if their phone locations have shown their presence in the Nizamuddin area that didn’t necessarily mean they had attended the Tablighi congregation.
“My neighbours are no longer like my family. After 31 March, I have received more than 500 calls (from relatives and friends) and had to convince them that I didn’t attend the Jamaat event,” Umesh Pandey, a resident of Ambikapur, said.
“People in my area have started saying that some Brahmins took part in the event. I have no objection to being kept in quarantine, but it should be explained why it is being done,” said Pandey, who is a consumer rights activist.
Pandey said, like every year, he had gone to Delhi in March to participate in a consumer protection programme and had stayed at a hotel in Nizamuddin. “I came back on 17 March. After I was quarantined, a false propaganda is being spread about me that I am linked with Tablighi Jamaat activities.”
Pandey said he and his family are now being “looked at as suspects”.
Kamal Kumar Popatani, a businessman from Bilaspur district, has faced similar problems. Popatani and his family have been living in isolation since 31 March.
“I am completely flabbergasted by this step taken by the state government. I always visit Delhi to procure items for my shop. This time too I had completed my procurement and had returned home on 16 March. Everything was usual till 30 March, but suddenly after 31 March, when this so-called list of 159 alleged suspects was released by the government, we were placed under isolation,” Popatani said.
“My own family members, neighbours and everyone I know are now accusing me that I had joined the Tabligi Jamaat gathering. How can it ever happen? This strange attitude of the government has made my entire family a victim of social boycott.”
Trader Abdul Rahman, a resident of Lutra Sharif area of Bilaspur district, also echoed similar sentiments.
“I returned from Delhi along with my wife on 15 March, but my entire family has been kept in isolation since 31 March. All this is way beyond my comprehension… Blood samples of the entire family were taken. Now everyone is keeping a distance from us and calling us corona suspects,” said Rahman, who had gone to Delhi for a holiday.
“People not only from my village but also in the nearby villages are pointing fingers at me and my family… We are the ones who condemn Tablighi Jamaat and their activities. We have nothing to do with them. The quarantine… has brought…infamy to us,” he added.
In another goof-up, the list even includes names of some people who no longer live in the state but carried mobile numbers issued in Chhattisgarh. One such name is that of BSF sub-inspector Shantanu Mukherjee, who was working in Bhilai about two years ago, but is currently posted in Delhi.
“What kind of list is this? Who released it in the first place? At first, I received a call from the Covid-19 control room in Chhattisgarh and then from the State Police Control Centre. They inquired about my health and current place of posting,” said Mukherjee, whose office is located close to the Nizamuddin area.
Makkhan Singh Yadav, a sub-inspector with the CRPF, is another case in point. Yadav, who is posted somewhere close to Nizamuddin, had bought a SIM card from Dantewada, when he was posted there five years ago.
“I had received calls from both Delhi and Chhattisgarh police after being marked as a corona suspect. But when I explained the reality to them, no calls were made thereafter. I could not understand how all this is taking place,” said Yadav, who is a native of Rampur, Uttar Pradesh.
A first-year Delhi University student, who belongs to Mahasamund district of Chhattisgarh, has been kept under isolation at a local government hospital.
The student, who didn’t want to be named, said she had gone to Nizamuddin railway station to catch a train for Chhattisgarh.
“I came home immediately after it was announced that educational institutions are shutting down. After returning from Delhi, I spent around 19 days at my own home, but suddenly I was admitted to the hospital on 1 April. Why have I been brought here (hospital) if I have no symptoms? All this feels like some sort of torture.”
“Despite my repeated denial, I was brought here by the health department on the pretext of being associated with the Tablighi Jamaat,” she said.
Asked about the Tablighi quarantine list, principal secretary Sahu said: “The government has issued no such list. We have received inputs from the social media about three such lists but the state government has not officially prepared any list.
“All those put under quarantine have been done as per the orders issued by the state government. This order states that those who came to the state after 1 March should be kept under isolation,” he added.
Raipur Collector Dasan refused to say anything about the list and added that people have been kept under quarantine after obtaining their “detailed travel history” based on the guidelines issued by the ICMR.
On the allegation of social boycott, Dasan said: “No person or their families placed under home quarantine or isolation should be subjected to any social boycott or misconduct. They also need not have any social inferiority complex in their minds.
“If any person placed under quarantine feels like this (social inferiority complex), the government has arranged counsellors for them. Our counsellors are convincing and assuring such people by reaching out to them.”
A government official on condition of anonymity said that more number non Muslims might have converted to Islam during the same period in other institutions and independently.

Any problem u have ...
Just make Dua to ALLAH (the God of all that exists)
Call him with 99 names which suits your situation. if you are not memorized with it . then make dua with the names you know. (Allah knows what is in you - U just need to ask him)
U will get the answer either in the last moment or as Allah Wishes.
Trust ALLAH and be patience.
If U trust ALLAH, then U will never go to another creation of ALLAH.
Cos Your IMAAN should be that ALLAH will provide U and take U out of any situation with his knowledge....
RESPECT the Prophets, Auliyas and the pious.
But TRUST ALLAH. SURELY those who trust ALLAH will be SUCCESSFUL.
You never need to go to the creation for barakah or for the solution of your troubles.
Dear Monu,
If you wants to know the answer for your questions, read verse from surah an nisa, as follows;
4:56, 4:57, 4:58,4:59,4:60,4:61,4:62,4:63,4:64
Read all in context.
After reading all verses, you will understand the meaning of verse 4:64.
Dear Monu,
You hire me as your teacher, Because you need to know many things about Quran then only you will leave Darghah committee for sure.
You no need to pay me for that, it will be free of cost.
Dear Ali,
I guess you know more about quran and hadith
please can you tell me the means of quranic verse \ al-quran Surah an -nisa ,4:64\"
waiting for your reply"
Waseelah is what you do to get close to somebody. Waseelah also means a status or rank in front of somebody.
Dear Monu,
How to gain waseela in practicality?
Answer as follows:
Getting to know Allah is waseela, Learning the Quran is waseela, doing good deeds is waseela, by this way every good deeds and anything that get us closer to ALLAH(S W T) is waseela. Allah makes i compulsory to love Rasulallah ( S A W), follow him and obey him, for he is one of the highest waseela to get closer to ALLAH and please him.
May Allah SWT enable us to understand and comprehend the way beloved to him.
Dear Monu,
Quran - Chapter 5, Verse 35, Chapter 17, Verse 57
When you look at thes two verses, Allah( Subhana Huwa Ta'la) asks us to seek his waseela, meaning his ways to achieve his bounty, His rahmah, his guidance, his jannah. When you examine it in detail you realize that in order to seek waseela you have to get closer to Rasulullah(PBUH). To do that you get to obey Rasulullah( S A W) and follow him. In pakistan / Indian society and some of the sufi( or corrupted sufi groups) they take this concept to the extremes. They have their own evidence but they twist it.
These people start to believe that a pious person can heal their daughter and if they pray for so and so he can do such and such for them and if they go to the grave of so and so make duaa, their duaa will be accepted. Now without knowing we become a mushrik and instead of believing in ALLAH(S W T) and his oneness, we believe in that person.
Somebody might argue..... NO..!! We are just doing waseela.... This is what the kuffar of the Qureshi did. They believed that ALLAH( S W T) was the creator, he was the one who was the owner of the kaaba and the statues were but a waseela to reach Allah(S W T). These are actually the roots of Christianity; when the miracle that ALLAH(S W T) gave to Jesus the power to heal people, bring the dead back to life, it was a fitnah for the majority. Instead of taking it just a miracle, they elevated a human being to the level of the creator ALLAH S W T...
Similarly today, if we go to shaikh so and so, we say \he can protect us, he can heal our son, he can make my wife pregnant, he can protect me from shaytaan\". So and so peer can perform miracle.. I saw people coming with such and such desease and they left cured. He is the one he can do it\". All this language and all this belief can only belong to ALLAH (S W T). I hope you understand.
I am only giving you a glimpse. By this way, the prefix, \"Ya\" only belongs to none but Allah(S W T). You cannot call Rasulallah ( S A W) as \"ya Rasul Allah\"while making duaa or go to someone's grave and use them to pray for something. This is a bida and shirk"
dear sk
Dont get frustrated...i can understand your feelings..normally if people dont have answer to tell same thing is happening...just chill

dear true indian,
i agree with u...in some areas dargah management make good money..its totaly haram...even sunni scholars have objection about this
what iam saying is visiting grave yard is not haram but your intention should be clear..
Mone....pls read you comment # 22 properly and with open eyes.....you mentioned that asking forgiveness thru some 1 is not haram...... What is this NONSENSE mone...... Wake up .....do not follow these green Turbans / Pagdis.....
Dear Monu,
Allah already provided Quran as guide, no need to visit scholar to get the answer. Everything is clearly written in Quran about worship.
Rank Holders never visit tuition for doubts, their IQ is far better than Dull students. Try to understand Quran and Hadees. I hope it will resolve your doubts.
10 years before visiting Darghah was common for all Dakshinna Kannada muslim people. Later on translated version of Quran introduced. People started to realise their mistake and started to move towards the right path by leaving our forefathers customs like worshipping darghah calling everyone other than Allah.
I think moidin shaikh is very famous for mangalorean sunni. In my childhood days i used call moidin shaikh during the tough time.
Our local usthad wanted us to keep in darkness for their bread and butter.
Our teachers taught us to follow sunni, anafi , salafi. But only few scholars thought us to follow Islam, and there is no groupism in Islam. hats off to Great Zakir Naik, he is one of the scholar because always quotes from quran and hadees, never said his own rule.
Our Prophet Muhammed PBUH used to do work for his bread and butter, but our current Usthad they are lazy and fool people on the base of maulood or other unnecessary things to earn money.
If they are really the follower of Prophet, then they should go for work and should not depend on jamaath for salary and other expenses.
Believe in one God as Allah, and Prophet Muhammed PBUH as the last messenger of Allah.
Respect USTHAD but dont ask them for solution try to find answers in Quran and Hadees.
Allahu Akbar
Very well said True Indian.
Asking other than Allah is Haram.
You can pray others for Jannat, but asking with them is useless and no use.
Its just like recommending some one to give your public exam.
You will get the marks on the base of your performances. Either you will pass or fail, its all depending on your performances.
Same will apply to our life. Whatever we do good deeds we get the return from Allah.
Third person is not allowed in Allah's decision. He is well planner and decision maker.
@monu
I visited dargah many times. After studying quran. Found that it is absolutely wrong.
In dargah many used to do namaz for the dead ones. Bowing their head. And they ask how much money dua u want. I felt like iam a hindu. They
Why only 6000?
In european country conversion figure is much better than India.
I accept that, because In India people are very backward and it takes time for them to study their religion and to choose best of them as Islam.
Insha Allah one day 99 percent of Population will become muslim in India and other countries.
Dear sk
i never mentioned anywhere that we are seeking forgiveness from dead people...bro 1st read carefully the msg then reply accordingly...i told you about waseela?
do u know the meaning of waseela?
even iam telling to you please dont follow youtube to know about waseela...study urself and reply bro
@true indian
who brainwashed you by telling that people are going to any grave yard for worshipping the grave..you need to meet some good islamic scholer...please dont use your half knowledge by just watching the youtube videos by converted peo
Islam is a best religion read Quran and what is Islam study islam
Mone, .....You need dead persons to ask for forgiveness and NOT ALLAH....
Yes Prophet (PBUH ) asked us to send salams to the Ahalal Kaboor.....BUT did he tell us to ask for forgiveness from them.... WAKE UP.....
what do you mean by dead people
then why our prophet used to tell \ asslamu alikum ya ahalal khabur\" when he used to pass from grave yard
even worshipping grave is haram but asking forgiveness through some1 is not haram"
DEAR MONU, CAN U PROVIDE US THE VERSE FROM THE QURAAN TO SEEK WASAEELA???
Monu, you want waseela from the dead people OR living people ??????
I do not understand, what is the goal of this conversion centre.... Are they doing this to please ALLAH or to get publicity.........
Prophet ( PBUH ) said, if the right hand gives charity, the left hand should NOT know.....So it is difficult to understand, what kind of these molvis are ???? let them do their work quietly and get the reward from ALLAH.... By Publicity, they are spoiling the communal harmony of the society.....If they want to do REAL DAWA work, let them REFORM the so called Muslims ( Nam ke Waste ), instead of converting Non Muslims .... These N K W muslims do not pray properly and many indulge in goondagiri and rowdism... Once we good muslims, show good character, good work, good intentions, naturally the Non Muslims will be attracted towards ISLAM...... As it is often said by the westerners, ISLAM IS THE BEST RELIGION BUT MUSLIMS ARE THE WORST PEOPLE...
There is need to reform the shia muslim leader, who has put a bounty of 15 lakhs for the head of Dr Zakir Naik.... We should be ASHAMED of such Muslims
@monu
some people do chamatkaar. It is there. Iam not denying it. Some so called people know by seeing u. What is the problem. And after his death u make mazhaar and worship him.
Even u and i can study that course. Anybody can study
True indian
Do you know something about Waseela?...check in quran about it
We are worshipping only one god that is almighty allah...seeking waseela is not forbidden in quran.. Even your zakir naik before he told waseela is haram later when he targeted by media then started asking waseela from his followers to support him ( now its halal for him)
You guys are changing the hadees and quran as per your requirments..
still time is there try to change your self...in your mind only dargha dargha...other than dargha u dont have other examples i guess
@Monu moodbidri
Ur so called scholors done nothing. Only making money. By the collection from graveyard dargah.
In 5 times prayer every day. Every muslim have to say this.
Iyya kanao budu wa iyya kanasthaheem
I
Many more to come because of arnab go swami. He tried very hard by his barking news. But failed miserably this time. His lie channel has exposed by dr zakir naik
Now Naik followers dont give credit to your converting specialist Dr.Naik
\Islam is the fastest religion in the world and will overtake christianity by the end of century\" An article published in Daily Mirror- U.K"
People seeking the truth, find what they are looking for in Islam. The beauty of Islam is uncovered for them, behind the curtain of bias views, propaganda and what the media imposes. And as more people discover the truth Islam spreads despite what people are made to believe.
great steps towards ALLAH
Don't boost on getting others converted. Just go to youtube and type \Ex-muslim\" and you see how many are leaving from this fake religion. Islam is getting exposed..\"YOU CAN FOOL ALL PEOPLE SOME TIME AND SOME PEOPLE ALL THE TIME BUT CAN'T FOOL ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME\""
BURNOL BHAGYA FOR CHADDIS.....
NO REPORT SO FAR THAT MUSLIMS CONVERTED TO HINDU OR OTHER RELEGION.
ALHAMDULILLAH, ISLAM IS THE FASTEST GROWING RELEGION IN THE WORLD.
Surely , U will see More of Reverts in the near future - In shaa ALLAH (God willing)
Alhamdulillah... Prophet Muhammad pbuh said the truth. This will happen and We see today , all over the world People understand the reality of ISLAM and worship of ONE GOD ALLAH.
Despite many LIES & DECEPTION on ISLAM by Haters , who try to spread hatred thru media .. ISLAM is spreading far more than expected ALHAMDULLILLAH...(Thanks to God)
Comparatively it is less.....it should have been 6,000 every year......any way not bad.....
DEAR MUSLIM HATERS...
Time to think Why U fall to the hate msg spread by the media ... I request YOU to STUDY and PONDER and WHAT ISLAM tells. rather than Depending on Deceptive MEDIA for the knowledge on ISLAM and MUSLIM.
I Suggest
READ QURAN translation
ASK the CREATOR to guide U (He will open up the reality to U)
Talk to MUSLIMS
Visit Masjid Library for more knowledge... (No Muslim will object u to know about ISLAM)
Please TRY... Dont be FOOLED by the MEDIA, U may regret LATER in your LIFE , If you just depend only on MEDIA.
There are 2 major weakness with The Indian Muslims community.
1.Muslims Doesn't have Their owen National Media
2.Muslims Doesn't have Their own national Political Party
If these 2 weakness converted in to Strength then the Community will not suffer in the hands of Fascist Forces.
It will be more in future. Bush regime is lesson for Modi. Whenever they want to curb Muslims, more and more will convert 'sorry revert'.
In one angle Arnab did great job, millions of people googled Islam and Zakir Naik last couple weeks and earned knowledge which Arnab & Sangh wants to avoid.
