IMA also served a defamation notice to the Yoga Guru, demanding a written apology within 15 days. If he fails to provide the public apology and a video countering earlier claims, they will sue for Rs. 1000 crores as compensation from him. This intensifying row with allopathic practitioners has also taken social media by storm. However, Swami Ramdev has remained defiant despite the backlash.
The row started early last week, when a video of Ramdev calling allopathy “a stupid and bankrupt science” went viral. In the video, he also claimed that lakhs of people had died due to allopathic medicines prescribed for Covid-19. The remarks received severe backlash, with FORDA alleging that this would add on to “vaccine hesitancy” in the country. Medical professionals are also irked by the comments disregarding their work and sentiments.
