“Arrest toh unka baap bhi nahi kar sakta” Says Baba Ramdev, amid IMA’s calls for action!
Aryan Jaiswal/ Yoga guru Ramdev and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) are engaged in a bitter battle between the effectiveness of Ayurveda and Allopathy.
A new video of the yoga guru surfaced on Wednesday (May 26) in which he can be seen saying that no one has the courage to arrest him after Indian Medical Association (IMA) called for his arrest on sedition charges. Tthe Yoga Guru said in Hindi, “Khair, arrest to unka baap bhi nahi kar sakta Ramdev ko (Anyway, even their father can’t arrest Swami Ramdev).”
The IMA on Saturday (May 22) had sent a legal notice to the yoga guru over his alleged statements against allopathy and “defaming” scientific medicine. However, the Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust has denied allegations by the IMA that Ramdev has misled people by making “unlearned” statements against allopathy and defamed scientific medicine.
“He has also claimed that `Allopathy Ek stupid Aur Diwaliya Science Hai` and that thousands of people have died from taking allopathic medicines for the treatment of COVID-19 related symptoms. These videos are circulating virally on social media,” IMA claimed.
For the unversed, on Sunday (May 23), Ramdev withdrew his statements on allopathic medicine after receiving a strong-worded letter from Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan who called his remarks “inappropriate”. “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 meeting of volunteers. I am sorry if it has hurt anyone`s sentiment,” wrote Ramdev in his letter to the Union Health Minister in Hindi.
