DHAKA (AFP): A massive Covid-19 prayer session with tens of thousands of
devotees sparked an outcry in Bangladesh Wednesday (March 18) as the South
Asian nation reported its first death from the global pandemic.
Local police chief Tota Miah said some 10,000 Muslims gathered in an open
field in Raipur town in southern Bangladesh to pray "healing verses" from
the Koran to rid the country of the deadly virus.
"They held the Khatme Shifa prayers after dawn to free the country from the
coronavirus," Miah told AFP.
Organisers claimed the number of worshippers was 25,000. |
