2n Given their eviction from power, their society never moved past the feudal structure of power capture by few elite families. Given their weak economic & electoral hand: their tactics have remained consistent: escalating through obstinacy, obstructionism & finally violence.

3n An example of this is Partition. Jinnah starts with impossible maximalist demands, then starts obstructionism, & finally calls for violence. Issue is this pattern was rewarded by the British, then by the INC & now by the BJP. This strategy has proved brilliant for them.

5n But when the #TablighiJamaat people do it, repeated police missions have to beg & please with them. Finally the NSA has to go crawling like a beggar. Imagine the NSA of 1.3 billion representing a party with an absolute majority of 303 seats, held hostage by 2000 people.

6n understand be it partition, be it Shaheen Bagh, be it #NizamuddinMarkaz, every government has succumbed to this kind of blackmail. Consequently they backup position has and will always remain one of obstinacy – no matter what the law, because every law is an opportunity…

7/7 for the Muslim leadership of the country to extort concessions. Remember rewarding bad behaviour leads to more bad behaviour. That is the essence of appeasement and that’s what Modi has been doing.

8n Eg: this behaviour follows the template – What #TablighiJamaat did, refusing to comply with orders was Stage 1 (obstinacy) now what these scumbags are doing is Stage 2 (obstructionism). You know what comes next in Stage 3? Congrats.https://t.co/XsFZimF2Mk https://t.co/2Gtu7o0Df9

11n from earlier today, Stage 2 by a #TableeghiJamaat fellow who attended #NizamuddinMarkaz. When asked to come for corona testing he says “go test Modi he travelled to 120 countries, go test EPS OPS (CM & DtyCM of Tamil Nadu) they have corona” pic.twitter.com/Yfz3Ji9lZt

18n Gomtipur in Ahmadabad – again police going to get attendees of the #NizamuddinMarkaz for@medical screening were attacked with stones. See the pattern? First it was just Stage 1 laughable videos on how “Corona Allah ka NRC hai”, and within days this. pic.twitter.com/wasiTjX1PG

19n Understand what happened. Thanks to the #TablighiJamaat & their infernal #Nizamuddin Markaz India’s efforts to flatten the curve have been delayed by between 2 weeks to a month. What’s even more amazing is instead of being repentant and cooperating, they’re defiant & violent
— Abhijit Iyer-Mitra (@Iyervval) April 1, 2020
20n Apparently they’re convinced this is one more of their routine political negotiations – their cooperation even during a national emergency will have to be “bought”. The threat of spreading #Corona is the 2nd currency of this negotiation & Modi sending Doval validated it.

21n in Rajasthan, still deliberate defiance Stage 1 – obstinacy. As a community it surely can’t be a collective act of cognitive disability given how diverse the community is? No. This is ingrained behaviour. pic.twitter.com/wBXLlishyM

22n the Indore doctor attacked in the video above (13n) relates what happened. After a positive test in the area, they went back. After initial cooperation, the mood suddenly turned. Why? Ask yourself why?pic.twitter.com/ZMVsgrVmjx
