TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ The Uttarakhand unit of Indian Medical Association has sent a defamation notice of Rs 1000 crore to yoga guru Baba Ramdev.
The notice states that if he doesn’t post a video countering the statements given by him against allopathy and tender a written apology within the next 15 days, then a sum of Rs 1000 crores will be demanded from him for defaming doctors.
On Sunday, Ramdev was forced to withdraw a statement made in a viral video clip in which he is heard saying that “lakhs have died from taking allopathic medicines for Covid-19.” He is also heard questioning some of the medicines being used to treat Covid-19.
The remarks were met with vociferous protests from the doctors’ association, following which Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan asked him to withdraw the “extremely unfortunate” statement.
