An event of Tablighi Jamaat held in March 2020 became the reason India's coronavirus numbers spiked and now it has been learned that clerics advised Maulana Mohd. Saad Kandhalvi, the chief of the Islamic sect, to not hold the meet but he ignored their suggestions. His stubborn behavior put thousands of followers at risk, said members of the community. A third of the total COVID-19 cases of India is linked to the Jamaat.
