Doctors’ associations claim that the yoga guru is spreading misinformation against allopathy during pandemic
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday issued summons to yoga guru Ramdev on a lawsuit filed by several doctors’ associations for allegedly spreading misinformation against allopathy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Justice C. Hari Shankar, while granting four weeks to Ramdev to file his response, said the doctor’s associations’ suit was not frivolous. The court also issued summons to Acharya Balkrishna and Patanjali Ayurveda on the suit.
“I have seen the video clips. From the perusal of the video clips, your client [Ramdev] is scorning the allopathic treatment protocol. He has literally gone to scorn at the prescription of steroids, people going to hospitals,” Justice Shankar observed.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
