Supreme Court Closes Case Against Ramdev

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has sparked controversy by claiming that allopathic medicines are responsible for the deaths of millions in India, likening the situation to historical tragedies. His statements come shortly after the Supreme Court closed contempt proceedings against him and Patanjali Ayurved for misleading advertisements, following a lawsuit from the Indian Medical Association regarding his earlier claims about the efficacy of Patanjali products during the pandemic. Ramdev reiterated the need for medical autonomy and advocated for a 'swadeshi revolution' promoting Ayurvedic medicine over synthetic drugs, which he described as 'toxic.' The court accepted Ramdev's apology for previous violations but warned him against repeating such behavior. Despite this warning, he continues to challenge the legitimacy of allopathy, stating that the dream of medical freedom remains unfulfilled. His remarks have led to renewed scrutiny and legal challenges surrounding his promotions and claims.
