A senior Haji sahib talking to this scribe said the Coronavirus issue was a conspiracy by the Jews to close the Holy Kaaba for muslims. When he was told that the Jews themselves were equally badly affected and their places of worship have also been closed down, he did not have any thing more to say except dismissing the pandemic by saying “I don’t believe in the Coronavirus”. ..
