Yoga guru Ramdev has apologised for his remarks that allopathy had caused more deaths in the country than the lack of oxygen. His apology came after health minister Dr Harshvardhan demanded a pology in a public letter addressed to Ramdev.
The minister said in his letter, “The statement disrespects the COVID warriors and hurt the sentiments of the country. Your statement on allopathy can break the morale of healthcare workers and weaken our fight against COVID-19.”
In a video that surfaced online recently, Ramdev is seen saying that many deaths have been caused due to the steroids and allopathic medicines administered to patients. He even claimed that more people died due to allopathic medicines than they did due to lack of oxygen.
IMA had earlier demanded an apology from Ramdev.
