IMA files FIR against Baba Ramdev, here is why

Ramdev had sparked an uproar after purportedly calling allopathy a "stupid science". This has led the Indian Medical Association (IMA) to demand that the Union Health Ministry take action against him, but Patanjali denied the allegations against him, saying that he was only reading a "forwarded WhatsApp message".

On Sunday, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan also wrote to Ramdev, saying his statement was an insult to doctors working on the Covid frontlines and asked him to withdraw it.

While Ramdev had complied, in a 140-second clip that went viral last week, he is heard saying that "lakhs have died from taking allopathic medicines for Covid-19".

Now, IMA has filed FIR against Baba Ramdev
