UTTARAKHAND: Sanjay Gupta, Bharatiya Janata Party Legislator from Uttarakhand claimed that ancient Hindu rituals and cow urine can be a medication to kill coronavirus in the “air and within the body”.
Gupta from Haridwar had said this on Friday in Gairson of Chamoli district while speaking to the reporters while the budget session was underway. Gupta’s statement was taken when the government was informing the house on steps to be taken to tackle coronavirus.
“Performing yagna with ancient Vedic rituals of Hindu religion would help in killing the deadly coronavirus in the air,” Gupta said
He also added sweeping floors with cow dung is helpful for prevention.
Gupta said, “Earlier people in the country used to sweep the floors of their homes with cow dung as it is a proven disinfectant. But now people have forgotten it. I am sure if they again start that, the virus will not enter their homes,”
And apart from this, people should also drink cow urine for keeping away the infectious deadly disease as the products of Gau Mata have magical anti-virus properties.
Madan kaushik, the Parliamentary Affairs minister said around 17,387 people have been screened for the infection of the deadly disease at different checkpoints in the Indo-Nepal border in the state.
Around 437 people from Uttarakhand, who were kept under screening from the affected countries, have come back. 319 from these have completed their preventive monitoring.
The minister said, no positive cases of coronavirus infection have been found in Uttarakhand so far.
In India 31 people are detected positive for coronavirus and thousands are kept under monitoring.
The inspector general police, Pushpak Jyoti said, “As we all know precaution is better than cure, we are trying to spread awareness and reduce in-person contact,”
28 new deaths have been reported by China on Saturday, bringing the total numbers to 3070.
