TINSUKIA: The Rupai Masjid and its neighbourhood near Doomdooma in Tinsukia district have disassociated from any activities of Nizamuddin’s Tablighi Jammat, and also restricted the entry of any its members within the premises of Rupai Masjid, announced Azizul Haq Choudhury, president of the masjid committee.
Accusing the Tablighi Jammat of being solely responsible in spreading the COVID-19 outbreak in Assam and elsewhere in India, Haq Choudhury added, “The Rupai Masjid Committee has strongly condemned the organization, and asked all Jammat attendees who have absconded or gone underground to immediately surrender before government officials.”
Another member of the masjid committee pointed out, “The activists of the Tablighi Jammat, a society for spreading the Faith, were considered extremely orthodox in respect of their dress, personal behaviour and rituals. They are primarily involved in preaching activities without any scientific basis and believe in superstition and delusion. What is most concerning is that they recruit young boys, particularly college students, and put them in religious training for four months and then send them to preach the Tablighi message.”
