In his letter, President Bolsonaro compared PM Modi's decision to lift the ban on export of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the global fight against coronavirus COVID-19 to Hanuman's effort to help Lord Ram's brother Lakshman with Sanjeevani Booti after the latter was criticailly injured during the battle in Lanka.
"Just as Lord Hanuman brought the holy medicine from the Himalayas to save the life of Lord Rama's brother Lakshmana, and Jesus healed those who were sick and restored the sight to Bartimeu, India and Brazil will overcome this global crisis by joining forces and sharing blessings for the sake of all people," wrote the Brazilian president.
It is to be noted that the letter was sent to PM Modi on the day of Hanuman Jayanti.
