Following President of Hindu Mahasabha Chakrapani putting forth that consuming 'gaumutra' can cure coronavirus, Acharya Pramod Krishnam on Saturday refuted claims and countered that while several diseases can be treated by consuming gaumutra, it wasn't necessary that it would work against  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 airport only after drinking Gaumutra and taking a bath in cow dung. This bizarre demand came on day when chief of one of factions of Hindu Mahasabha hosted a 'Gaumutra party' to fight Coronavirus.
