On Monday, India’s cumulative coronavirus infections reached 1,251, registering the highest single-day increase of 227 cases; the death toll rose to 32.

First, we need clear and honest information from the central govt on Covid-19 virus. The attempt to divert & obstruct genuine queries is akin to playing with the lives of millions of Indians. Why is the health minister and the home minister not leading the briefing every evening? https://twitter.com/scroll_in/status/1244546153577758721 …

Six, attempts to create social disharmony, tarnish sections, ostracise workers and the vulnerable by communal, casteist & sectarian forces must be resisted. If not, India's health and humanitarian crisis - with Centre’s knee-jerk responses - will only worsen the situation.

Finally, when a PM National Relief Fund already exists, what is the need for a new fund? There is no clarity about the new fund, which raises questions about this collection. We can't forget that this govt brought opaque electoral bonds and collected 1000s of crores anonymously. https://twitter.com/logic/status/1243888629593731072 …

Why is https://pmnrf.gov.in/ not used and a personal branding named fund being used for this? PMNRF has receipt generation, in existance for ages. PM-CARES attempts at profiting out of disaster. #DisasterPayments https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1243861543185305603 …

Nizamuddin Coronavirus cases: At least 1,500 muslims from Tamil Nadu paricipated in Tablighi Jamaat meet in Delhi
As Tamil Nadu recorded 17 more Covid-19 cases on Monday and at least a score more suspected to be infected, the state’s anti-Covid-19 machinery swung into action to trace the 980 Tamil Muslims who took part in a Tablighi Jamaat (TJ) conference in New Delhi and returned home.

CM Edappadi K Palaniswami confirmed that 10 were members of the TJ delegation from Erode.

A 65-year-old TN Muslim preacher of TJ, which is a religious outreach organisation, passed away on Sunday and several others in a mosque in Delhi’s West Nizamuddin showed Covid-19 like symptoms, triggering panic among the hundreds of inmates.

At least 1,500 Muslims from TN participated in a three-day conference that ended March 23.
