Hello
This development follows a directive from the Supreme Court on March 19 in a contempt case related to the publication of these advertisements.
The bench also issued notice to Ramdev to show cause why contempt proceedings were not initiated against him.
The bench also cautioned Patanjali Ayurved and its officers from making any statements adverse to any system of medicine in the media, both print and electronic, in any form as they said in their undertaking before the court earlier.
Ramdev, 56, had conducted a Yoga Science Camp & Women's Meeting through his Patanjali Yoga Peeth and Mumbai Mahila Patanjali Yoga Samiti in Thane.
When informed about Ramdev's advertisement in the media against allopathy, the Chief Justice said, 'what is the guarantee that Ayurveda will cure all diseases'.
The Resident Doctors' Associations of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Safdarjung Hospital too condemned Ramdev's statement and demanded that 'strictest steps' be taken against him.
The Ayush Ministry also reminded Patanjali of a gazette notification, issued on April 21, asserting what are the requirements and manner of research studies on Covid-19.
There are currently no vaccines or drugs approved to treat or prevent COVID-19, only investigational COVID-19 vaccines and treatments under development.
Balkrishna, 47, who heads Patanjali Yogpeeth, was first taken to a hospital in Haridwar from where he was referred to AIIMS in Rishikesh.
Referring to claims by BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, that Hindus cannot indulge in violence, Yechury had Friday said Hindu mythological books like the Ramayana and Mahabharata were replete with instances of violence.
