A Hindu priest in Ahmedabad has died of COVID. Here's the kicker though, remember the fake news circulated by brahmin media abt "spitting on food" to villify muslims? This pandit was actually feeding devotees his saliva laced sweets as 'prasad', single handedly infecting 1000s.

Here's a video of him lacing sweets in his saliva & giving to devotees. Again, this man died last week of covid-19. There's no media holding him or his religion responsible for endangering lives. No debate, no #SalivaSwamy or #PandemicPandit type hashtags. https://twitter.com/NadeemNusrath1/status/1290197065792774145?s=19

More on this. The priest died 3 weeks ago, not 1. It's not clear if the video shared above is of this year or not, but the "joothe laddoo" tradition was held by this pandit on his birthday every year & it did indeed happen this year too - according to a report by @indiatvnews

Also, per the @indiatvnews report, (presented by @RajatSharmaLive himself), shortly after the "jhoothe laddoo" event, Pandit Purushottam tested covid +ve & soon afterwards, 11 other priests in the temple also tested +ve. Here's the news clipping:
