Covid third wave scare peaks
Amid COVID-19 pandemic, many spiritual leaders have come forward to host meditation sessions virtually to help the masses in the challenging times. The Brahma Kumaris have also hosted live webinars for medical professionals, who have been at the front line fighting the pandemic. Recently, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) also shared the Healing the Healer webinar for medical professionals on its social media page, to which an Indian filmmaker responded and sparked a controversy.
The claim
Indian filmmaker Ashoke Pandit took a dig at Dr Johnrose Austin Jayalal, the national president of the IMA, in a Twitter post, alleging that he had been involved in converting people into Christianity. Pandit also extended support to Ramdev, who has been at the centre of controversy over his remarks against allopathy treatment and doctors.
