Award by name \Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi\" very few know about this great person. He has taken the initiative to bring back Tawheed during Akber and Jahangir emperor. An eye opener speech by Br. Rafiuddin Kudroli during Independence celebration and award ceremony programme has impressed the audience."

Bantwal, Jul 24: Former Union Minister B Janardhan Poojary on Friday said that people need to shed all their misconception regarding COVID-19 and stop taking it so lightly as it is not just any normal disease.

The 83-year-old politician who was tested positive for covid-19, was recently discharged from hospital after recovering completely.

Giving a word of caution, he said, “Earlier also there have been several diseases like Covid-19 and it has been eradicated. Even covid-19 will be eradicated. So, people should not get scared of the disease instead must fight with it”

“Also, covid-19 patients must not be treated like untouchables as those with symptoms may also not mention it due to the fear of being treated badly,” he added.
