मेरे स्वास्थ्य की चिंता करने वाले सभी लोगों को मेरा संदेश।

Mr Shah said with the country fighting the coronavirus pandemic, that has affected nearly 60,000 people and killed more than 1,900, he did not pay attention to these rumours as he was busy performing his duties as the home minister. He said he was clarifying today because lakhs of BJP workers have expressed concern over the last two days.

The Home Minister, taking a jibe at those spreading rumours, said such speculation about his health will only make him stronger. “I request people to stop indulging in such talks and let me do my work, they should also go about their business,” he added.
