Shiv Sena Taunts Union Minister: Did People Recover From COVID By Eating ‘Bhabhi Ji Ke Papad’?

New Delhi: Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, who had promoted ‘Bhabhiji papad’ to fight COVID-19, is in the news again.

Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Thursday took a dig at Meghwal’s unscientific comment. “Maharashtra has done good in controlling the pandemic and nobody was cured by eating the papad,” Raut said in Rajya Sabha.

In July, Meghwal had said that ‘Bhabiji papad’ was made from ingredients which could help in building antibodies against COVID-19.

Raut went a step. “Maharashtra has actively controlled the spread, and Dharavi is the best example, which is the largest slum in the country. Many ministers are infected, a former cricketer-minister Chetan Chauhan has died. There should be no blame game on the issue and we should fight this pandemic together,” he commented.
