Yoga teacher Ramdev has approached the Supreme Court, appealing for 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.
Last month, as the second wave of Covid ripped through the country, Ramdev stirred a controversy with his comments on the efficacy of allopathic drugs against COVID-19.
In a widely shared video, he was heard saying at an event, "Lakhs of people have died because of allopathic medicines, far more than those who died because they did not get treatment or oxygen." He even went to to call allopathic medicine stupid, infuriating doctors across the country.
Various units of the Indian Medical Association filed complaints against him with the police, based on which multiple cases were lodged.Earlier this month, Ramdev said he will soon get the Covid vaccine and described doctors as "God's envoys on earth".
