'Gaumutra antidote to Coronavirus' claim slammed by Pramod Krishnam in Baba-vs-Baba battle

Following President of Hindu Mahasabha Chakrapani putting forth that consuming 'gaumutra' can cure coronavirus, Acharya Pramod Krishnam on Saturday refuted the claims and countered that while several diseases can be treated by consuming gaumutra, it wasn't necessary that it would work against the deadly coronavirus. Taking to Twitter, Acharya Pramod urged people to stop creating such illusions that gaumutra is a cure for coronavirus. 

Earlier, President of Hindu Mahasabha Chakrapani had demanded that anyone landing on Indian soil must be allowed to come out of the airport only after drinking Gaumutra and taking a bath in cow dung. This bizarre demand came on the day when the chief of one of the factions of Hindu Mahasabha hosted a 'Gaumutra party' to fight Coronavirus.

'Gaumutra to fight Coronavirus'

"Everyone coming from abroad must be served Gaumutra and asked to take bath in cow dung before exiting the airport. Moreover, govt must replace wine shops with gaumutra and cow dung shops. It will help to contain coronavirus completely. The government must put a blanket ban on the killing of animals also. The main reason for this pandemic is eating the meat of innocent animals. I am just giving a suggestion, it depends on government if they want to implement our suggestions," said Swamy Chakrapani.
