Abstract
Coronavirus originated in the city of Wuhan, China, which has run throughout the world. Millions of people have been infected by the coronavirus epidemic so far, many thousands of people have lost their lives due to this disease. In many large countries, curfew has been imposed to fight coronavirus. In India, A Muslim missionary group Tablighi Jamaat is in the headlines, as reports of coronavirus or COVID-19 cases, emerging from different parts of the world are being linked to its gatherings. The Indian government has filed a case against its Chief Maulana Mohammad Saad Kandhalvi for arranging a gathering at its headquarters located in Nizamuddin locality in the heart of capital New Delhi. A strictly apolitical organization that focuses only on teaching basics of Islam to its followers, has invoked the ire of Indian media, which is projecting Muslims in general and the group in particular as villains in the battle against the spread of the virus. The present paper discusses the Article 25(1) of the Constitution of India, by enforcing the existing laws or by making a specific law in this regard. The Nation has always paid equal rights to all religion, but considering the behavior and attitude of the Muslim religion, the unethical and harmful activities under the umbrella of Secularism is required to be scrutinized under the Constitutional mandate when it is an imminent danger to the Health of the People of India.
