New Delhi: Founder of Patanjali Ayurved Baba Ramdev has withdrawn offensive remarks on allopathic medicine. Under pressure from Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan as well as the Indian Medical Association (IMA), Ramdev said that he was withdrawing his statements criticising allopathic medicines.
Citing a video circulating on social media, the IMA on Saturday said Ramdev has claimed that allopathy is a stupid science and medicines such as Remdesivir, Faviflu, and other drugs approved by the Drugs Controller General of India have failed to treat COVID-19 patients.

Sunil Bansal, who headed the dairy business of yoga guru Ramdev’s Patanjali Ayurved, has died due to the coronavirus disease, PTI reported on Monday, citing the company.
The 57-year-old, who was the vice president in the dairy division of Patanjali Ayurved Limited, died on May 19. The announcement of his death came at a time when Ramdev is courting controversy for deriding allopathy and its role in the pandemic.
In a statement, Patanjali stated that the company had no role in Bansal’s allopathic treatment. “However we were concerned and used to ask for his well-being from his wife,” the Haridwar-based firm said.
DEHRADUN: After controversy erupted over
Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev s comment about allopathy being a Stupid Science and over 10,000 doctors have died even after taking both the doses of Covid 19 vaccine, his aide Acharya Balkrishna has come up with a conspiracy theory.
Balkrishna in his Tweet said, As part of the conspiracy to convert the entire country into #Christianity, #Yoga and #Ayurveda are being maligned by targeting @yogrishiramdev jee. Countrymen, wake up now from the deep slumber otherwise the generations to come will not forgive you.
