Stating that his statements have hurt the sentiments of the doctors who are fighting Covid-19 pandemic, Health minister Harsh Vardhan on Saturday asked Ramdev to take back his recent statements on allopathic medicines and modern medicine.
The health minister in a tweet said the doctors fighting the Covid-19 pandemic day and night, are akin to deities for the people of the nation. He said the Yoga guru’s statements were a disrespect to the doctors and he has written a letter to him asking him to withdraw his objectionable statement.
The health minister in his letter also mentioned that he had spoken to Ramdev regarding his statements. He also reminded the yoga guru that Polio, SARS, tuberculosis, chicken pox and Ebola vaccines were also treated by vaccines which were possible due to allopathy.
