The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has served a Rs 1,000 crore defamation notice on Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev for his alleged remarks against allopathy and allopathic doctors.
The IMA demanded an apology from Ramdev within 15 days.
The six-page notice served on behalf of IMA (Uttarakhand) secretary Ajay Khanna by his lawyer Neeraj Pandey describes the remarks by Ramdev as damaging to the reputation and the image of allopathy and around 2,000 practitioners of it who are part of the association.
In its letter to Modi, the IMA said it was gratifying to note that only 0.06 per cent of people who received both the doses of vaccine "got minimal" infection by coronavirus, and "very rarely" vaccinated people had a severe lung infection.
