"Under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, a papad manufacturer has come up with this product that will aid the formation of antibodies to fight the coronavirus. This papad will prove useful in the fight against coronavirus," Meghwal said.
The company manufacturing the papad is based in Bikaner, Meghwal's constituency. The manufacturer reportedly claimed Bhabhi Ji Papad had immunity-boosting ingredients like Giloy.
