Ramdev Withdraws Allopathy Remark, Earns Praise From Health Minister

New Delhi: Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan was impressed after yoga guru Ramdev withdrew his statements against allopathic medicine and halted the controversy over the issue.

“The way yoga guru Ramdev withdrew his statements against allopathic medicine and halted the controversy over the issue is laudable and shows his maturity. We have to show the world how the people of India have faced COVID-19. Of course, our victory is certain!” Vardhan tweeted in Hindi.

The statements on allopathic medicine were withdrawn by Ramdev after receiving a strongly-worded letter from Vardhan, who called his remarks “inappropriate”, reported news agency ANI.

“We do not oppose modern medical science and allopathy. We believe that allopathy has shown immense progress in surgery and the lifesaving system and served humanity. My statement has been quoted as part of a WhatsApp message that I was reading during a meeting of volunteers. I am sorry if it has hurt anyone’s sentiment,” Ramdev wrote in Hindi to the minister.

It may be recalled that the Indian Medical Association (IMA) sent a legal notice to yoga guru Ramdev over his alleged statements against allopathy and “defaming” scientific medicine on Saturday.
