GUWAHATI: Assam BJP legislator Suman Haripriya on Monday said cow dung and urine could prove beneficial to cure coronavirus that has assummed alarming proportions across the globe.
"Cow urine and dung are known to have medicinal values and cancer cures using them are being discovered. An ayurvedic hospital in Gujarat makes cancer patients live with cows in the same room, a cow dung pack is also applied on their bodies and panchamrit using cow urine is given to them. I have got proof myself of a cancer patient getting cured. I think using cow dung and urine to make the coronavirus cure would prove beneficial," added Haripriya, the daughter of former Union minster Bijoya Chakravorty.
The MLA said this while raising her concern over cattle smuggling to Bangladesh on the first day of the budget session of the assembly.
Later, outside the House, Haripriya said, "The world is looking up to India to give the cure for coronavirus...India has always discovered something or the other. So, cow dung and urine can be used to get the cure. Cow dung and urine are used in yagnas because there is something scientific about it."
Haripriya, who represents the Hajo constituency, was an established filmmaker before she became a legislator in 2016.
