GHAZIABAD: The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditya Nath has ordered the Ghaziabad district administration to invoke the National Security Act, 1980, against coronavirus patients, especially those who had attended the Tablighi Jamaat congregation in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area last month after allegations of assault on nurses and obscene behavior at a hospital in Ghaziabad.

Yogi Adityanath said, "They will not follow the law, nor will they accept order. They are the enemies of humanity, what they have done with doctors, nurses is a heinous crime. We are invoking the National Security Act against them, we will not spare them."

Earlier, the Ghaziabad CMO had written to UP police that Tablighi Jamaat attendees who are under observation at a Ghaziabad hospital have been making vulgar signs and roaming nude inside the hospital.

The letter said that the Jamaatis have been misbehaving with the female hospital staff.

"These patients, who have been put under observation for suspected coronavirus infection, have been roaming around without their pants, nude, and listening to vulgar songs in the isolation wards," the letter reads.

The CMO also claimed that these patients were asking for cigarettes from the housekeeping staff and making vulgar signs at nurses.

"In such circumstances, it is difficult to treat these patients," the letter says.
