The Rashtriya Janata Dal president, Lalu Prasad Yadav, has stated that urine used to be an effective anti-septic in an emergency situation in the past.
A report in Deccan Herald states that he made this statement when he was at the ‘Diverse disease and simplicity of homoeopathy doctors’ seminar organised by the Homoeopathy Science Congress in Patna.
Lalu reportedly 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.”
