  • Does the Pharma industry have a solution to treat COVID-19 patients without using liquid medical oxygen? Ramdev asks.

Hinting at the innumerable attacks launched at him, Baba Ramdev also asked if Allopathy has any treatment for the growing hatred and violence and also a cure that can put an end to the fight between Allopathy and Ayurveda with the following questions,

  • “Mankind is walking towards the path of hatred and violence. Is there any allopathic treatment for the same?
  • Does the pharma industry have medicine that can end a fight between Allopathy and Ayurveda” he asked?

Lastly, Baba Ramdev posed a pertinent question as to why do doctors fall sick when Allopathy has the solution and treatment for every ailment,

  • “If allopathy is capable of treating every disease and health condition, then its doctor should never fall ill.”

Ramdev was forced to withdraw a statement made in a viral video clip in which he is heard saying that “lakhs have died from taking allopathic medicines for COVID-19.” reported PTI (Press Trust of India)

Ramdev has been sent with a defamation notice by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) for allegedly making disparaging remarks against Allopathy and allopathic practitioners. The IMA has threatened to sue Ramdev for Rs 1,000 crore in damages if he does not apologize within 15 days. The remarks by Ramdev are “damaging to the name and image of allopathy, and the approximately 2,000 practitioners who are members of the association,” “according to a six-page notification sent on behalf of IMA (Uttarakhand) secretary Ajay Khanna by his lawyer Neeraj Pandey.

According to the notice, Ramdev is also required to prepare a video clip denying all of his false and defamatory claims and distribute it on all social media sites where he previously put his video clip levelling the allegations. The IMA has also asked that the yoga teacher remove a “misleading” “advertisement from all platforms that promotes his firm’s” “Coronil kit” “as an effective COVID-19 treatment, failing which the IMA will file an FIR and pursue criminal charges against him.

Later, the Patanjali Founder even stated the issue, saying, “We do not oppose modern medical science and Allopathy. We believe that Allopathy has shown immense progress in surgery and the lifesaving system and served humanity. My statement has been quoted as part of a WhatsApp message that I was reading during a volunteer meeting. I am sorry if it has hurt anyone’s sentiment,“” wrote Ramdev in his letter to the Union Health Minister in Hindi.

As the Union Health Minister, Dr Harsh Vardhan wrote a strongly-worded letter to the Yoga Guru and was told to withdraw his statement and the viral video from the social media platforms terming it as “inappropriate.”
