Patna: RJD chief and Bihar strongman Lalu Prasad Yadav on Satuday drew an unusual parallel between Dettol and urine, claiming that the latter could be used as an effective antiseptic in terms of emergency.
Talking at the Homeopathic Science Congress, which he attended on behalf of his son and Health Minister Tej Pratap Yadav, Lalu said, “Earlier, during our childhood days, whenever we used to sustain injuries, we would apply urine, which worked as anti-septic. Now people use Dettol, and some of them now use it (Dettol) to wash their hands. This is the only progress we have made.”
Expounding its benefits, the former Chief Minister also said that unlike allopathic medicine, homeopathic medicines did not have any side effects, and added that “they (allopathic medicine) resorts to surgery for everything.”
Lalu clarified that he decided to fill in for his son as ‘Tej Pratap was busy.’
