BJP leader, Anupam Hazra had earlier threatened of giving a ‘COVID Hug’ to West Bengal Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee. Few days after his controversial remark, he has been now tested positive for the Coronavirus, reportedly confirmed his officials.
Hazra was recently appointed as a national secretary of the party and now he gets hospitalised after getting down by the virus. He is currently at a private hospital in Kolkata, as per the media reports. ‘Covid Positive,’ posted the leader on his Facebook page today.
For the unversed, while criticising Mamata Banerjee, Anupam Hazra had made the controversial remark at a public event in Baruipur in South 24 Parganas district on Sunday evening. Where apparently, he had said, “Our workers are fighting a bigger enemy than corona.”
“They are fighting Mamata Banerjee. When they [BJP cadres] have been able to fight it out against Mamata Banerjee without a mask, they think they can also fight against Covid-19 without wearing a mask. I have decided that if I get infected by the coronavirus, then I will go and hug Mamata Banerjee,” added his remark further.
