The high court also asked Ramdev’s counsel orally to tell him not to make any provocative statement till the next date of hearing on July 13 and respond to the suit.
The Delhi high court on Thursday issued summons to yoga guru Ramdev on a suit by Delhi Medical Association (DMA). The DMA said in its petition that Ramdev’s company Patanjali is propagating false information about its Coronil kit that it is a cure for the coronavirus disease (Covid-19).
The DMA, on behalf of its doctor members advocate Rajiv Dutta, who represented the DMA, said Ramdev’s statement in public is damaging the reputations of science and doctors. “This is a suit for civil rights of doctors,”
The high court also asked Ramdev’s counsel orally to tell him not to make any provocative statement till the next date of hearing on July 13 and respond to the suit.
Ramdev, the founder of Patanjali Group, is in the eye of the storm over comments against the allopathic system of medicine, including coronavirus vaccines.
The Indian Medical Association (IMA) took strong objection to the comments made by Ramdev last month. Citing a video circulating on social media, the IMA said Ramdev claimed that allopathy is a “stupid science”.
