Yoga guru Ramdev challenges cases against his allopathy remarks in SC

Yoga guru Ramdev appealed in the Supreme Court demanding a freeze on the police cases against him over his remarks on allopathy. He has also sought that the FIRs across the country be clubbed together and transferred to Delhi.

Ramdev stirred a controversy last month when he questioned the efficacy of allopathic drugs against COVID-19. In a widely circulated video he called allopathic medicine stupid, infuriating doctors. He was heard saying that more people lost their lives because of allopathic medicines, than those who died because they did not get treatment or oxygen.

Multiple cases were lodged against him after various units of the Indian Medical Association filed complaints.
