In a report co-authored by Jeffrey Gettleman, Kai Schultz and Suhasini Raj, the NYT peddled fake news, claimed that the Wuhan Coronavirus was fanning 'religious hatred' across India.
National Herald, The Congress mouthpiece, published an opinion piece that absolved the Tablighi Jamaat of all its crimes and instead accused political parties and the media of 'scapegoating' them.
Tablighi Jamaat erupted across the national scene in the last week of March when around 200 people with Wuhan Coronavirus symptoms were admitted to various hospitals in Delhi from the Markaz Nizamuddin and surrounding places.
The Markaz, Nizamuddin in Delhi, the global center for the Tablighi Jamaat, is suspected to be the ground zero of hundreds of potential infections of the Wuhan Coronavirus.
