An Indian state has leveled criminal charges against yoga guru Baba Ramdev for promoting his traditional ayurvedic medicine as a COVID-19 cure, despite it being approved only as an "immunity booster." Ramdev faces accusations of misleading the public regarding the efficacy of his medicines, with potential penalties including jail time.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed yoga guru Ramdev and Patanjali managing director Balkrishna to submit copies of newspaper pages that show the actual size of their published apologies for misleading previous advertisements | Latest News India
Ramdev News: Dr. R V Asokan, president of the Indian Medical Association (IMA), criticized Baba Ramdev for claiming he could cure COVID-19 and disparaging modern medicine as "stupid and bankrupt." Asokan stated that Ramdev s statements led people to believe him due to his high profile, which was unfortunate. The IMA s comments come ahead of a Supreme Court hearing regarding Ramdev s misleading advertisements. Asokan expressed disappointment with the court s criticism of the IMA and private doctors, saying it demoralized them.
The Supreme Court today said Patanjali Ayurved has made a "marked improvement" by mentioning its co-founder Ramdev's name in its apology over misleading advertisements.
