I was really badly attacked and the Prime Minister called me and said, ‘I believe you are suffering from Covid and I hope everything Okay. I realize that you are not in good condition but we will do everything. There is a ‘Vaidya’ who is also the secretary in AYUSH and I will arrange a call with him who will send you the medicine and everything.’ When I was suffering from Covid, I took medicine from AYUSH.
