NEW DELHI: In the wake of widespread outrage coming from doctors, India’s Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan has asked controversial yoga guru Baba Ramdev to withdraw his recent comments blaming heath workers for huge numbers of coronavirus deaths as the country is in a grip of a second wave of the pandemic.
“The people of the country are very hurt with your remark on allopathic medicines,” Harshvardhan said in an open letter to Ramdev.
“You have not only insulted corona warriors, but have hurt the feelings of the people of the country,” he said, as he asked the guru to “think hard on it and withdraw your statements completely.”
