Vivek Agnihotri s latest film, The Vaccine War, too, toes a similar line. It highlights the seven-month journey that it took for Indian researchers and scientists to bring out an indigenous vaccine, and that it does in a convincing and engrossing way. But it fails to address the other pertinent aspects.
The Centre's counsel said that as per the DDMA guidelines, 50 people can be allowed to offer namaz but it will have certain submissions to make if plea is made to fully reopen the mosque.
Nearly two years into the Coronavirus pandemic, it is glaringly obvious that pandemics do not heal societal prejudices; they reveal them. It is equally clear that we are continuing to pay a very high price for such prejudice.
HC allows 50 people to offer Namaz at Nizamuddin Markaz during Ramadan ANI | Updated: Apr 15, 2021 17:23 IST
New Delhi [India], April 15 (ANI): The Delhi High Court on Thursday allowed 50 people to offer prayers at Nizamuddin Markaz mosque, five times a day, subject to guidelines issued by authorities concerned during the holy month of Ramadan.
The mosque was closed for devotees after the Tablighi Jamaat congregation last year.
A single-judge bench of Justice Mukta Gupta relied upon June 2020 Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) guidelines that permitted the opening of places of worship and religious places.
The high court noted that there was no direction to close the places of worship under the latest DDMA guidelines issued on April 10.
