gatherings in mosques, ignoring the advice by prominent doctors from all over the country. It comes from hundreds of other mosques in densely populated localities where overcrowding could lead to the violation of social distancing.

He has warned that the clerics would get all the blame in case of the failure to implement the SOPs. He cannot go against them if they insist on being accommodated in the already crowded prayer hall even if this requires bypassing the social distancing precaution.
