New Delhi (NVI): President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro has thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and people of India in his address to his nation, for helping Brazil with Hydroxychroloquine (HCQ) to treat COVID-19 patients.
Earlier, Jair Bolsonaro, in his letter to PM Narendra Modi, had referred to the Ramayana and likened hydroxychloroquine to the “holy medicine” (Sanjeevani booti) to highlight the importance of ensuring that India supplies the drug to Brazil to fight against the spread of coronavirus.
“Just as Lord Hanuman brought the holy medicine from the Himalayas to save the life of Lord Rama’s brother Lakshmana, and Jesus healed those who were sick and restored the sight to Bartimeu, India and Brazil will overcome the global crisis,” Bolsonaro said in his letter.
India has received similar requests for Hydroxychroloquine (HCQ), from several other countries including its neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka and Nepal.
