Rajasthan Health Minister Raghu Sharma on Thursday warned that strict action would be taken against anyone found selling Baba Ramdev’s claimed medicine for curing COVID-19.
He said that Baba Ramdev did not take permission from the state government for conducting the clinical trials for the drug launched by his company, Hindustan Times (HT) reported.
Sharma further said that the state government had not received any proposal for clinical trials for the drug, nor had they given any permission to anyone in this regard.
“Human trials cannot be carried out without the permission of the state government. Those conducting clinical trials without government permission are misleading the people and strict action will be taken against them,” HT quoted him as saying.
Regarding Ramdev’s claim, Sharma said that Ayurvedic medicines could act as immunity boosters but claiming a cure without permission of the Ayush ministry was not acceptable.
He said that the Rajasthan government is complying with the guidelines of the Union Health Ministry, the Ayush Ministry, and the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
On Baba Ramdev’s claims that patients on whom clinical trials were conducted had recovered in seven days, Sharma said in the normal course too, patients are recovering in seven days, HT reported.
