Indian Medical Association’s Uttrakhand unit has sent a defamation notice of Rs 1000 crore to Baba Ramdev.
The notice has demanded posting of a video countering the statements he made against allopathy and asked 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 withdrew the statement made in a viral video clip in which he said that “lakhs have died from taking allopathic medicines for Covid-19.” He was also questioning some of the medicines being used to treat Covid-19.
The remarks triggered a nation wide oposition from the doctors’ association, for which Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan asked him to withdraw the “extremely unfortunate” statement.
However, Ramdev on Monday asked the Indian Medical Association if allopathy offered permanent relief for ailments such as hypertension and diabetes.
