The Hindu
Citing Ramdev’s remarks, IMA said such “untutored and unlearned” statements are a threat to society.
The Union Health Ministry should take action against yoga guru Ramdev as he has misled people by making “unlearned” statements against allopathy and defamed scientific medicine, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) said on Saturday. Ramdev should be prosecuted under the Epidemic Diseases Act as “untutored” statements are “a threat to the literate society of the country as well as to the poor people falling prey to him”, the apex doctors’ body said in a statement. Citing a video circulating on social media, the IMA said Ramdev is seen saying that “allopathy ek aisi stupid aur diwalilya science hai… (allopathy is such a stupid science)”.More Related News
