Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh government's Principal Home Secretary Anil Gupta has raised a storm by rejecting reports of death of children due to cold in Muzaffarnagar riot relief camps by saying "nobody dies of cold".
"No person dies due to cold or else no one would have survived in Siberia, which is one of the coldest parts of the world", thus spake Anil Gupta.
More Guptaspeak: "The cause of death could be because of food poisoning or pneumonia. Pneumonia happens due to cold, but cause of death is not cold."
He said, "We have a report that two, three or four persons died because of pneumonia, but nobody said they died due to cold...."
