Congress MP Shashi Tharoor had tweeted that India is now a land of cow urine drinkers and people who bathe in cow dung.
“Since the BJP is so obsessed w/our image, reflect: For decades, the world saw India as a land of snake-charmers &fakirs lying on nails. In the last 25 yrs India became the home of doctors& computer geeks. Now we’re a land where people drink cow urine& bathe in cow dung. Progress?”, Tharoor tweeted.
A part of his tweet was inspired by a recent incident in Karnataka where a group of men were captured on video dunking themselves in cow dung. According to them they did to fight the COVID-19 and doing this can elminate the bacteria of coronavirus.
“So your statement’s attributed even to the people who voted recently in 5 different state elections including the one you represent. Unimaginable that being not in power for less than a decade could drive one to make such repugnant remarks, notwithstanding the credentials, shame,” a user wrote.
“You should ask that to people who drink cown urine & bathe in cow dung. How many of them do you know? If you don’t, then even you know that it’s a biased narrative. A person in your position should have the sense to challenge a biased narrative. Or do you not care?” wrote another user.
Today, Congress leader Pawan Khera had also targetted PM Modi on his vaccine policy and said he is trying to become Vaccine Guru by individulising himself as a brand.
India is continously reporting more than 3 lakh daily COVID cases in the last 10 days and the fatality count has also gone up till 4,000 on a daily basis.
