50,000 pilgrims gather in Pakistan despite coronavirus concerns

[Trango Towers]

Rofl one extreme towards another, so you want to fire a bullet on a moulvi for refusing one the handshake issue. While 6000 Iranian pilgrims in which some carrying coronavirus have entered the country with the blessings of this govt. If they were 6000 moulvis what would you have done.

Shoot them all. They lie about our religion and put us in danger. Simple not extreme at all. We have been at the mercy of jahil molvis for a melenia and they have hijacked islam so shooting them is a kind gesture

 

[HAIDER]

It's people choice , Imran Khan has nothing to do with ijtima. People should take the responsibility. If they believe that Corona won't do anything to there gathering ............well its there choice.

Shahbaz Sharif is much better for such kind of situation...

Absolutely, killed 14 who protested against removal of road blocks / barriers while challenging writ of SS

That was the saddest incident ever on which political point scoring is still going on. Shahbaz ho ya Buzdaar.No one can teach discipline to this nation. State has no resources. Period.

I supported Imran Khan but I know realize that Imran Khan is incompetent. Imran Khan government neither has a plan nor policy to decisively take against spread of Coronavirus in Pakistan. This gathering must have been canceled and banned few weeks or days ago but nothing has been done. Only when there is a major crisis Imran Khan will get up and taken action now he is busy watching the Cricket match.

50,000 pilgrims gather in Pakistan despite coronavirus concerns
Lawmakers demand joint session of parliament to discuss strategy against virus

Lahore: Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims gathered in eastern Pakistan this week amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, ignoring government warnings that such events could propagate the disease.

Organisers late on Thursday curtailed the annual Tablighi Ijtema congregation, which had drawn people from across the country, but cited rainy weather as the cause.

The early closure came after about 250,000 people had already congregated in camps near Lahore since Wednesday for the five day festival.

“Most of the people have returned to their homes but still tens of thousands of people are here. They will return today,” one of the event’s organisers Ehsanullah, said yesterday.

Pakistan has only recorded 21 confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus and no deaths, but officials have tested fewer than 500 potential cases in the country of about 215 million, where health care is frequently inadequate.

The federal government has yet to enforce nationwide measures to contain a possible outbreak, leaving provinces to act independently. Organisers of the Tablighi Ijtema were free to ignore government advice to postpone.

“The government asked us to cancel the gathering because of the coronavirus, but our elders and organisers decided that the gathering will proceed as planned,” Ehsanullah said.

Meanwhile, lawmakers from the government and opposition parties in the National Assembly yesterday demanded the government to call joint session of the parliament to discuss steps at government level to control spread of Coronavirus epidemic.

Speaking on a point of order in the National Assembly, the former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said, “Joint session of Parliament should be summoned immediately to discuss the corona virus to take steps at government level for controlling its spread.”

You hight of stupidity. Blame everything on Imran Khan. Are tableghi jamaat leader are dumb and we as a nation are dumb that despite knowing the risks are engaging in such an activity.

Have ever heard of phrase. Khuda bhi un k hallat nahi badalta jo khud na badalna chahty hon.

Stupid people like you don't want to change themselves and expect IK to do everything for you.

Don't advice anyone, tomorrow people will come out and rally against " Corona Virus " and burnt its effigy and Imran Khan too...

 

[alibaz]

That's where the pendamic is going on. But Shia pilgrims won't stop going and many come back with fake health certificate and others run away from quarantine. Put the blame where it belongs.

I believe its just a sweeping statement, we all behave similar once matter concerns our school of thought. First if Iran is one of the epicenter of corona then stop sending our people, Just give a date for return of pilgrims who are already there and then stop entry of people coming back after given a date. I believe as society we need to be more rationale / tolerant.

That was the saddest incident ever on which political point scoring is still going on. Shahbaz ho ya Buzdaar.No one can teach discipline to this nation. State has no resources. Period.

Saddest part is that culprits are unpunished as of today and there are people who try to defend them on one pretext or the other. Irrespective its SS or Buzdaar, shove danda in this nation to implement rules and principles but the process should not carry any impression of any personal or political interest.

If a maulvi had said the same thing to this paranoid animal than all hell would've broken lose. One can see uncivilized and extremism both in this post.

 

[Yaseen1]

such gathering are not necessary and there is no Hadith in which people are required to arrange such gatherings at particular timings,these are all made by Tableegi Jamat themselves so it is not necessary to arrange such ijtema like prayers and Tawaf e Kaaba

 

[A.A. Khan]

PAkistani shia mentality

Iran: Throw out all Ghorbatis (Pakistani Shias) from our country
PAkistan boder officials: We've closed Taftan, we don't have facilities to support these returnees (some having coronavirus)
Zulfi Bukhari: Take them in, or else shia will explode and start protesting.
Pakistan border officials: Ok
Sindh: REturnees from Iran have coronavirus and many are spread in the provice as FEderal Govt. allowed them to return without screening.
Pakistani shias: The Sunni maulvi Ijtema in Raiwind is the biggest threat facing Pakistan

All what goes around Pakistan in the name of Islam is insult to Islam.
They would not be allowed to gather like this in any of Arab state, who take Islam's fundamentals seriously.
More worst is if you paralyses all of Pakistan, while discharging your religious obligations and we have that example too.
Religion should be kept at home. Mafiasim should be thrown out of Pakistan, specially the one lead by foreign states.
We all know how Iran exploit Pakistani elections by swinging the vote of enslaved zombies.

 

[Salman876]

What a stupidity of some so called wise men of pdf.
Corona virus entered Pakistan from out side Pakistan. Now it will spread indiscriminately.... and the real target of this conspiracy is Pakistan army and i repeat Pakistan Army is the real target behind this conspiracy.
Irrespective how sweet General Bajwa talk to Khamenai, he will bite us.

Last but not least, Busses from Iran were dispatched to DG Khan as well, same way as those were dispatched to Sukhur.

As far Mulla Tariq Jamil is concerned he's another one of CIA product if not agent.

Imran Khan is ace card of Amrica.. they used him to get rid of Musharraf, bringing an end to prosperous Pakistan.

It's people choice , Imran Khan has nothing to do with ijtima. People should take the responsibility. If they believe that Corona won't do anything to there gathering ............well its there choice.

No.. it's never peoples choice when you choose to live in certain society.
It's the choice of society and this is why we elect head of our society, who is PM and President as second layer of check.
These people should have been responsible enough to not embark on such gathering, if not provincial administration should have preempted to send them back from borders of Lahore.
Clearly they are illiterate bunch and educated people should not follow them.

Shut the **** up. Will you. Your delusional have literally no boundaries. Where was that prosperous Pakistan when that gandoo gave NRO to PPP and Nawaz League throwing Pakistan to worst 10 years of it's history. Now ran and hid like a coward in Dubai.
