Former Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat on Thursday said that coronavirus is a living organism that has a right to live.

"Seen from a philosophical angle, coronavirus is also a living organism. It has the right to live like the rest of us. But we (humans) think ourselves to be the most intelligent and are out to eliminate it. So it is constantly mutating itself," he told a private news channel.

"Corona virus is a living being and every living creature has a right to live", says BJP leader and Ex Uttarakhand CM Trivendra Singh Rawat.

With such people at the helm of affairs it should not be a surprise that our country is facing worst human tragedy in the world today. pic.twitter.com/zJBgus9o5k

However, he said a man needs to outpace the virus to stay safe.

Mr. Rawat was trolled on social media for his unusual observation on coronavirus as it went viral at a time when the entire country is battling a strong second wave of COVID-19.

One Twitter user sarcastically said, "This virus organism should be given shelter in Central Vista."
