New Delhi: On the occasion of Ramnavami, an event held in Lucknow, Rajnath Singh said that reciting Ramcharit Manas increases positive thoughts in people. He said, “It works like a medicine. Adhering to religion and spirituality will act like a medicine against Corona. “
Addressing an event organized on the occasion of Rama Navami in Lucknow, one of the worst affected cities in Uttar Pradesh, Singh said that the recitation of ‘Ramcharitmanas’ will ‘increase positivity’.
“It works as a medicine (against the deadly virus),” Singh said in his virtual address, adding, “Stress on religion and spirituality will work as a medicine in the fight against Coronavirus”.
