Patanjali Yogpeeth on Saturday clarified that yoga guru Ramdev’s statement on allopathy was taken “totally out of context” after he claimed that it was a “stupid science”.
Ramdev had said that medicines such as remdesivir and favipiravir – approved by the Drugs Controller General of India for coronavirus treatment – had failed. “Lakhs of patients have died because of allopathic medicines rather than a shortage of oxygen,” he had claimed.
Balkrishna, the general secretary of the Patanjali Yogpeeth, later clarified that the video in which Ramdev can be heard making the statement was truncated, and that the yoga guru has no ill-will towards modern science and its practitioners.
