Prosecute Baba Ramdev for criticising allopathic treatment under the Epidemic Diseases Act
The IMA has urged the Health Minister to take action
| We have seen many cases of black marketing of Remdesivir and of false positive diagnosis of Covid-19. However, the IMA is conveniently silent on the demands to take action against such corrupt Doctors who evaded their obligation to serve patients. Would the IMA display same alacrity to take action against these Doctors similar to what it did with respect to Baba Ramdev ? |
New Delhi – The IMA (Indian Medical Association) has demanded prosecution under the Epidemic Diseases Act against Baba Ramdev,, who has allegedly made false claims and fuelled misconceptions about the allopathic treatment. It has also warned that if no action was taken in this regard, it would follow the democratic path of struggle and request the judiciary to intervene. It further said, ’The Health Minister himself is a postgraduate in modern allopathic medicine. Therefore, he should either accept the accusations of Baba Ramdev and dissolve the modern medical facility or prosecute him under the Epidemic Diseases Act’.

Recently, a video depicting Baba Ramdev went viral on social media. In that video, he is seen criticising the allopathic medicine. He says, “Medicines such as Hydroxychloroquine, Remdesivir, Antibiotics, Fabiflu and Steroids have all proved to be ineffective in treating Covid-19. Even plasma therapy has been banned. Lakhs of people have died because of the allopathic treatment’.
Have a high regard for Doctors and Healthcare workers – Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust refutes the accusations
A statement has been released in this regard by the Haridwar based Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust. The statement which is signed by the chairman of Patanjali Ayurved, Acharya Balkrishna clarifies that ’Baba Ramdev has a high regard for all Doctors and the Healthcare workers who are working round the clock in this challenging environment on account of the Covid-19 pandemic. He was merely reading out a forwarded WhatsApp message to the participants of the event’.
The statement further states that Baba Ramdev has nothing against modern science or modern medical treatment. The accusations against him are completely misplaced and hence incorrect.
