Strongly urge @TelanganaCMO  to not extend lockdown. If the goal is to reduce crowding, then we may consider evening curfews (6 PM onwards) or mini-lockdowns for COVID clusters.

Hyderabad: Asadiddinn Owaisi, MP and AIMIM Party chief strongly urge Telenagan chief minister not to extend the lockdown in Telangana.

Hyderabad MP in a series of tweets urges CM as…

Telganana’s Cabinet will be meeting today to discuss the extension of lockdown. I must reiterate my opposition. It’s not a strategy to combat COVID-19. It APPEARS as a “hard on pandemic” strategy but all it does is destroy the lives of poor

As data shows, COVID cases were already reducing much much before the lockdown was imposed on 12th May. It’s quite clear that it’s not lockdown that helped. It’s also clear that COVID can be combatted without lockdown

We have to accept that the pandemic is a long-term reality. One can combat it only by educating the public about mask use & social distancing and tweaking govt policies to encourage and enable such lifestyle change.

The only long-term solution is universal vaccination. Lockdowns give a cruel choice to the poor: poverty, police atrocities, or pandemic. They make a public health crisis into a law and order problem. They are neither a scientific nor a humanitarian strategy.

Strongly urge @TelanganaCMO  to not extend lockdown. If goal is to reduce crowding, then we may consider evening curfews (6 PM onwards) or mini-lockdowns for COVID clusters. But expecting ~3.5cr people to live for weeks with just a 4 hour lockdown relaxation is not fair at all
