Twitter users slam Swami Agnivesh for Urine Drinking Remarks

Swami Agnivesh has witnessed the outcry of Internet users ever since he defended the Vishwa Bharati University Hostel Warden’s Action of forcing a girl child to drink her own Urine. Swami Agnivesh has been trending top on Twitter in past 24 hours and Twitter users have been critisizing his comment on the Urine Drinking Case.

“Why is there so much fuss made about the suggestion given to Visva-Bharati’ Patha Bhavan school girl who was suggested to consume her own urine by her hostel warden, Uma Poddar, as cure for bed wetting. It is a simple piece of advice by the hostel warden, which has created so much ruckus by the girl’s parents and then by the media,” Agnivesh said in a statement.

Agnivesh said that he himself had bed wetting problem till adulthood and had used the traditional cure called “Shivambu” or “Swamootra Chikitsa” while being imprisoned at the Ambala Jail during the Emergency days.

He also cited examples of former prime minister Morarji Desai, former defence minister George Fernandes, former Haryana chief minister Devi Lal as having practiced the method and benefiting from it.

While the Comment of Swami Agnivesh can be justified in the context of  what Former PM Morarji Desai used to do, a forceful drinking cannot be supported. Listen to what Twitter users have to say
