Maharrashtra Home Minister Anile Deshmukh on Thursday while interacting with the media blamed Delhi Police who couldn't stop Delhi's Nizamuddin Markaz programme,
He said, "A programme like the one at Delhi's Nizamuddin Markaz was scheduled to be held near Mumbai in Vasai on 15-16 March but was not allowed by us. Why didn't Delhi Police stop this programme like us? Because of this, COVID-19 cases have increased."
"Whole state machinery is trying its best to contain this pandemic. This new problem surfaced in Maharashtra and other states because of Delhi Police, who is responsible for this?". said Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh.
