Ramdev spoils image of scientific medicine, govt should take action: IMA

Ground Report | New Delhi: The Indian Medical Association said on Saturday that the Union Health Ministry should take action against yoga guru Ramdev as he made irresponsible statements against allopathy and tarnished the image of scientific medicine.

The apex body of doctors said in a statement that Ramdev should be prosecuted under the Epidemic Diseases Act because uneducated statements are a threat to the educated society of the country and at the same time poor people are falling prey to it.

Referring to a video on social media, the IMA said that Ramdev is saying that allopathy is such a stupid and bankrupt science.

He also said that millions of people died after taking allopathy medicines. The IMA said that Ramdev claimed that Ramesdevir, Faviflu and all other medicines approved by the Controller General of Drugs of India had failed to treat covid-19 patients.

He alleged that Ramdev is trying to take advantage of the situation and create fear and resentment among the people on a large scale. The IMA said that they are doing this so that they can sell their illegal and unrecognized so-called medicines and earn money at the cost of their lives.
