Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray wants the government to take strict action against the participants of the Tabhligi Jamaat at Nizamuddin, Delhi, for spreading the Coronavirus pandemic. "We want to know what punishment these irresponsible Markaz people get," he said.

Thackeray added that Markaz attendees should be put in separate isolation cells and their treatment be stopped because they spat at the medical staff tending to them and misbehaved with nurses. "The people who attacked police should be punished and the videos of punishment should be made viral in order to let the people know of it," Thackeray told mediapersons on Saturday.
