DK Suresh attends funeral of COVID-19 patient to debunk myths, confusion among people
Bengaluru: D K Suresh, in an attempt to clear the doubts and myths among the people regarding COVID-19, attended the cremation of a patient who died due to COVID in his constituency.
The Bangalore Rural MP attended the last rites of a 73-year-old COVID-19 patient at the crematorium near the Kanakapura Temple Mutt.
He had earlier visited the COVID-19 treatment hospital and met the patients to give a positive message to the society.
The MP had also written an open letter, reminding that Covid-19 victims could not harm the people. “There are a lot of rumours in this regard, but preventing cremation does not suit our culture. It is also not a humane gesture. Instead, we should assist the relatives to carry out the last rites of the deceased in a respectable manner,” he had requested.
Speaking after the cremation, Suresh said that the victim had been under treatment for a few days ago, but failed to respond positively to the treatment. He said that he prayed for the family to get strength to bear the loss of a relative, and also thanked all those who helped conduct the last rites.
PPE kits were used as a precautionary measure by all who attended the cremation.
MLC Ravi and Kanakapura City Municipal Council members were present.
