Bangladesh Awami Olama League has tested the logical position on the coronavirus, dishonestly asserting that the malady brought about by the infection is "not infectious" by any means. The Islamist outfit won't consider it a pandemic either.
The association made the disputable cases at a human-chain program close to the National Press Club in Dhaka on Monday.
The pioneers of the gathering dismissed the administration's direction on keeping physical separation during supplications in mosques, as trained by the Islamic Foundation, as a 'precept of doubt'.
"Spreading such promulgation about the coronavirus contamination is unlawful," said Information Minister Hasan Mahmud in his response.
Abul Hasan Sheik Shariatpuri, general secretary of the Olama League, stated: "The Islamic Foundation is calling coronavirus a pandemic, which is outlandish and a total untruth. A pandemic happens in a particular spot yet the coronavirus has hit the entire world."
He asserted that from 'Islamic point of view', a malady could be known as a pandemic when it kills at any rate 20,000 individuals consistently.
The demise of 30-35 individuals consistently in Bangladesh 'doesn't demonstrate that the coronavirus is a pandemic'. The legislature is being deluded by a gathering, he asserted.
A pandemic is regularly characterized as "a pestilence happening around the world, or over a wide territory, crossing worldwide limits and normally influencing an enormous number of individuals".
Olama League President Akhter Hossain Bokhari stated: "The spread of these lies about the coronavirus should be forestalled with a firm hand during the Eid-ul-Azha. Compelling advances must be taken with the goal that it doesn't thwart the (creature) penances, so the privileges of poor people can be ensured."
Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader stated: "We said it quite a while prior that we have no alliance with the Olama League."
Anyone utilizing the Awami League's name to spread such falsehood would be considered answerable for their activities, said Information Minister Hasan who alluded to the limitations on congregational supplications around the globe in the hours of coronavirus.
With the pandemic attacking the nation, Bangladesh can rebuff anyone overlooking the guidelines gave by the administration to battle novel coronavirus.
Area 25 of the Communicable Diseases Prevention, Control and Eradication Act 2018 states that a limit of three-month detainment or a most extreme fine of Tk 50,000 or both might be forced for hindrance of authentic obligations in controlling irresistible ailments and resistance with guidelines.
Furthermore, Section 26 of the law specifies a limit of two months in prison or a limit of Tk 25,000 fine, or both can be forced on any individual who deliberately spread falsehoods or deception about irresistible sicknesses.
