Yoga guru Ramdev withdrew his recent statements on allopathic medicine which had triggered strong protests from the medical fraternity.
Citing a video circulating on social media, the Indian Medical Association had on Saturday said Ramdev claimed that allopathy is a “stupid science”.
He also allegedly said medicines such as remdesivir, fabiflu and other drugs approved by the Drugs Controller General of India have failed to treat COVID-19 and “lakhs of patients have died after taking allopathic medicines.”
The apex doctors’ body urged the union health minister to take strict action against Ramdev for misleading people by making “unlearned” statements against allopathy.
In a strongly-worded letter to Ramdev on Sunday, Harsh Vardhan said his remarks on allopathic medicine were “extremely unfortunate”.
“The statement disrespects the corona warriors and hurt the sentiments of the country. Your statement on allopathy can break the morale of healthcare workers and weaken our fight against COVID-19,” he said.
Vardhan further said allopathic medicines have saved lives of crores and comments that the drugs are responsible for death of lakhs is “extremely unfortunate”.
Responding to a letter from Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, Ramdev said he wants to put the matter to rest.
“Hon’ble Minister, I have received your letter. I withdraw my statement, putting to rest the controversy over various medical practices… (jee aapaka patr praapt hua, uske sandarbh mein chikitsa paddatiyon ke sangharsh ke is poore vivaad ko khedapoorvak viraam dete hue main apna vaktavya vaapis leta hoon),” Ramdev tweeted from his personal Twitter handle, attaching his statement.
Replying to the minister’s letter, Ramdev in his statement said he respects all forms of medical science and allopathy doctors have saved people during the pandemic by risking their own lives.
“I accept that allopathy has shown remarkable progress in life-saving system (jeevan raksha pranali) and surgery and has served humanity,” he said.
Regarding the video in question, Ramdev said he was actually reading out messages forwarded on WhatsApp.
“…if that has hurt sentiments of anyone, then I regret it,” he added.
However, he also said traditional ayurveda, yoga and naturopathy have also controlled and provided permanent solution to several complex diseases like blood pressure, thyroid, sugar, arthritis, hepatitis and asthma.
