Drink cow urine to prevent Covid, said BJP MP Pragya Thakur
Just days ago, BJP parliamentarian Pragya Thakur suggested drinking cow urine for staving off the virus, sparking controversy.
Pragya Thakur said that drinking cow urine can help prevent coronavirus disease (Covid-19), adding that her remark had “scientific backing”.
Gau Mutra (cow urine) removes lungs infection. I don’t have Corona infection, as I daily have cow urine of desi gaay (country breed cow), is Bhopal BJP MP Pragya Thakur’s new mantra to defeat COVID-19. @NewIndianXpress @TheMornStandard @khogensingh1 @gsvasu_TNIE pic.twitter.com/sbI7ybzmMu

Addressing party workers in Bhopal on Sunday, Thakur said: “I consumed cow urine daily and it is a kind of acid which purifies my body. It also purifies the lungs and saves me from Covid-19 infection. I don’t take any medicine against corona but I am safe.”
The 51-year-old MP received criticism after a video of her remark went viral. She, however, defended the statement.
However, health experts warned against relying on what they called “unscientific claims” amid the second wave of the pandemic.
