"We have been drinking cow urine for 21 years, we also take bath in cow dung. We have never felt the need to consume English medicine," said Om Prakash, a person who attended the party.
Experts have repeatedly asserted that cow urine does not cure illness like cancer and there is no evidence that it can prevent coronavirus.
