Doctors protest against Ramdev Baba's 'Yoga beats COVID' remarks

A protest against the yog guru was held in West Bengal's Kolkata on Friday. 

Ramdev has irreparably damaged the Indian government's efforts to contain the pandemic, the IMA said.

The IMA has extended support to the black ribbon protest called by the Federation of Resident Doctors Associations (FORDA), and other medical and resident doctors' associations of the country against Ramdev.

Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust on May 22 denied allegations by the IMA that the yoga guru has misled people by making 'unlearned' statements against allopathy and defamed scientific modern medicine.

Ramdev has "utmost regards" for doctors and support staff who have been working day and night during such a challenging time of the pandemic, the Haridwar-based Patanjali Yogpeeth Trust had said in a statement.
