Just when you think Indian politicians couldn’t get any crazier, they come up with something new. Now a Bharatiya Janata Party leader said saying ‘Adaab‘ (Urdu greeting) allows coronavirus to infect the air and travel into your mouth.
On the contrary, he said that if you say ‘Namaste,‘ it prevents contamination from the coronavirus.
BJP parliamentarian Ramesh Bidhuri actually told ABP News, that’s what experts say. Which experts though?
“Experts have suggested it should be used as a greeting to prevent contact in order to avoid the coronavirus, but not adaab, because it directs the rays of the air into the mouth.”

Someone, please tell Ramesh Bidhuri that Covid-19 isn’t racist like that.
“Greeting people with a namaskaar is India’s heritage,”
This isn’t the first time BJP has been under fire for butchering science in the process of explaining the coronavirus.
