The Uttarakhand Congress has questioned the government’s undue largesse on Pantanjali Ayurved’s Coronil. The spokesperson of the state unit of Congress party Garmina Dasauni said that recently 2000 Coronil kits were handed over by the Acharya Balkrishna of Patanjali to the district magistrate (DM) of Haridwar which raises questions on the intent of the government.
“Last year the Coronil was launched by Patanjali in a grand manner and it was projected as medicine for Covid 19. However after strong objections from all quarters the ICMR ordered a ban on the medicine. The ICMR has never approved this as a medicine but now the union health minister is seen distributing Coronil from a public platform and the DM of Haridwar is receiving kits of Coronil. I fail to understand why a medicine which is not approved is being distributed by the government. Why are they playing with the lives of people?’’ she asked.
Dasauni said that it appears that the whole system is bowing down before a person who is a complete businessman.
