The Supreme Court on Tuesday pulled up Baba Ramdev in connection with advertisements attempting to discredit allopathy and its practicing doctors amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and asked the Centre to restrain him.

A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana said, “Why is Baba Ramdev accusing allopathy doctors? He popularised Yoga. That is good. But he should not criticise other systems.” When informed about Ramdev’s advertisement in the media against allopathy, the CJI asked, “what is the guarantee that Ayurveda will cure all diseases”. He did not mince any words in criticising Ramdev for deriding other medicine systems, saying he is accusing doctors, as if they were “killers”.
