Anyone, including me, can never insult doctors and others in the medical fraternity especially after their contribution during the COVID-19 pandemic, said Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday. He said that his statements were directed towards the World Health Organisation's (WHO's) role during the crisis phase and added that his statements were being unnecessarily politicised by some.

I have not insulted doctors. The way they are serving is commendable. My remark was in reference to WHO, wherein I meant that #COVID19 pandemic had not taken place, if WHO had worked efficiently: Shiv Sena's Sanjay Raut on his remark, 'compounders know more than doctors' pic.twitter.com/tZ5X5UOMwx
