Union minister Arjun Ram Meghwal, last month made headlines in process of promoting “Bhabhiji” papad claiming that eating the “papad” will help fight the deadly coronavirus, tested positive for Covid-19. Meghwal was admitted to the AIIMS after he complained of difficulty in breathing.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader confirmed, “After developing symptoms of COVID-19 I had undergone the test and was found positive in the second report. On the advice of doctors, I got admitted to AIIMS and I request all those who came in contact with me to take care of their health.”

Only recently, a video had gone viral on social media in which Arjun Meghwal could be seen claiming that a particular brand of ‘papad’ had a role in boosting the immunity and antibodies that could help cure COVID-19.

Talking about the ‘Bhabhiji papad’, the Union Minister said, “Under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, a papad manufacturer has come up with this product that will aid the formation of antibodies to fight the coronavirus. This papad will prove useful in the fight against coronavirus.”
