Uttar Pradesh minister Sanjay Singh Gangwar who has a history of making headlines on Sunday had come up with yet another shocking statement. He had claimed that lying in a cowshed and cleaning it can cure cancer while stroking a cow’s back can lower blood pressure.

He had said that the dosage of blood pressure medicines can be cut in half within 10 days by petting cows and serving them. Sanjay Singh, the junior minister of sugarcane development, has made this remark while addressing people during the inauguration of cow shelter in Pakadia Naugawan in his constituency of Pilibhit on Sunday.

The minister had also urged the people to celebrate their marriage anniversaries and their children’s birthdays in cow shelters.

He had urged the Muslims to come to the cowshed on Eid and said, “The vermicelli made on Eid should be made in cow’s milk”.

Speaking in Hindi, the minister had said, “If there is a blood pressure patient… there are cows here. The person should pet a cow on its back every morning and evening and serve it. If the person was taking a 20 mg dose of medicine for blood pressure, it would come down to 10 mg within 10 days. This is a tested thing that I am telling you.”

“If a cancer patient starts cleaning a cowshed and lying there, even cancer can be cured. If you light cow dung cakes, you get relief from mosquitoes. So, everything that a cow produces is useful in some way,” he claimed.
