Yoga teacher Ramdev said, ‘Underlining the mistakes in any therapy should not be taken as an attack on that method.’
Yogguru Baba Ramdev has withdrawn his statement after the controversy over the comments made about allopathy drugs increased. In fact, on Sunday, Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan wrote a letter to Baba Ramdev to withdraw the statement, which he retracted his statement and told Dr. Harsh Vardhan that while regretting this entire controversy of the struggle of medical practices, his I take back the statement.
Ramdev, reacting to the letter to the Union Health Minister, wrote, ‘We are not opposed to modern medical science and allopathy. We believe that allopathy has made a lot of progress in the lifesaving system and in the medical sciences and has served humanity. My statement quoted is the statement of an activist meeting, in which I read the WhatsApp message that came. If anyone’s feelings have been hurt by that, I am sorry.
Yogguru Ramdev further said, ‘Drawing of mistakes in any therapy should not be taken as an attack on that method. This is not at all opposed to science. Everyone should be continuously progressive while self-assessing. Even in the Corona period, allopathic doctors have saved the lives of crores of people by putting their lives at risk. We respect him. We have also saved the lives of crores of people with the use of Ayurveda and Yoga, it should also be respected.
Union Health Minister said the statement was unfortunate
Earlier, Union Health Minister Dr. Harsh Vardhan wrote a letter saying, ‘The countrymen have been deeply hurt by your comments on allopathic medicines and doctors. The explanation you issued on Saturday is not enough to heal the hurt feelings of the people. In this crisis of corona epidemic, when allopathy and its associated doctors have donated new life to crores of people, it is very unfortunate to say that millions of corona patients have died due to eating allopathy medicine. We should not forget that this fight against the Corona epidemic can be won only by collective efforts. To show the current methods of treatment as a spectacle can prove to be not only allopathy but also to break the morale of their doctors and weaken our fight against corona epidemic. I do not consider the explanation you have given me enough.
