Swami Chakrapani, better known as the national president of All India Hindu Mahasabha, has made bizarre claims about the novel Coronavirus that has literally created a scare in China. Interacting with the press, he opined that Corona is not a health disaster but divine.

He even advised President Xi Jinping of China to worship an idol of Corona and seek forgiveness for taking stringent actions against its spread.

What is Chakrapani's 'logic'? He feels that Corona has come as a divine force to prevent the eating of meat in China! "The virus is an avatar that has arrived to punish non-vegetarians," he adds.

The controversial Hindu Mahasabha supremo says that Indians who not only worship God but also the cow are immune to the virus.
