India: Plea in HC seeks to restrain Delhi govt from classifying COVID cases as Tablighi
New Delhi, Apr 17 (PTI) A plea has been moved in the Delhi High Court seeking to restrain Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his administration from classifying some COVID-19 cases as "Tablighi Jamaat" or "Masjid Markaz", alleging it amounts to religious profiling.
In Delhi, coronavirus has infected around 1,640 and claimed 38 lives.
The petition by a lawyer on Thursday alleged that after the Tablighi event, Kejriwal via his tweets "deliberately" classified several affected cases under a separate caption -- "Masjid Markaz".
