Ex-Tamil Nadu BJP president Tamilisai Soundararajan reacted to the criticism faced by IIT Madras Director V Kamakoti for endorsing the "medicinal values" of 'gomutra' (cow urine). Calling the criticism "unwarranted", Soundararajan said, "One section is saying they will eat beef as it is their right. So when another section uses gomutra to cure diseases, why are they commenting?"
