Yoga guru Ramdev has apologized for his comments on women for which the Maharashtra State Commission for Women (MSCW) issued him a notice, panel chairperson Rupali Chakankar said.
At a public event in Maharashtra’s Thane district last week, Ramdev said women can look beautiful in anything, be it sarees, salwar kameez or “even when they wear nothing”.
He shared the stage at the event with Amrita Fadnavis, wife of the state Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Taking cognizance of the comment, the MSCW issued a notice to Ramdev for which he apologized.
On Monday Ms. Chakankar tweeted, “Baba Ramdev aka Ram Kisan Yadav used lowly language against women at a public event in Thane. The State commission for women took cognisance of it and sent him a notice seeking his response in two days. The commission has received his response and he has sought an apology for his comments.”
Ramdev in his response claimed that his comments were misinterpreted and apologized for the comments.
Delhi Commission for Women Chairperson Swati Maliwal also tweeted the video of Ramdev’s comments and asked for an apology from him.
