‘Even their father can’t arrest me’: Another Ramdev video goes viral
On Wednesday, yet another video of the yoga guru surfaced on social media in which he can be seen interacting with a few persons and telling them in the context of #Arrest Ramdev trends on social media that “nobody’s father” can arrest him.
The war of words between Ramdev and the Indian Medical Association (IMA) over the Patanjali founder’s recent comments that ‘lakhs of people have died after taking allopathic medicines for Covid treatment’ shows no sign of winding down. On Wednesday, yet another video of the yoga guru surfaced on social media in which he can be seen interacting with a few persons and telling them in the context of #Arrest Ramdev trends on social media that “nobody’s father” can arrest him.
“Khair, arrest toh unka baap bhi nahi kar sakta Swami Ramdev ko (Anyways, even their father can’t arrest Swami Ramdev),” he is heard saying. He goes on to add, “They keep on creating such trends, like ‘Thug Ramdev’, Mahathug Ramdev’, ‘Giraftar Ramdev’ and so on. Let them do it. Our people have also become accustomed to running such trends and our trends always reach the top.”
News Agency tried to get in touch with Ramdev for his comments on the latest video but neither he nor officials of Patanjali Yogpeeth could be reached despite several attempts.
Meanwhile, IMA-Uttarakhand officials said that the statement made by the yoga guru “smacked of arrogance”. Speaking to TOI, Dr Arvind Sharma, president, IMA-Uttarakhand, said, “Nobody is above the law and authorities should take action against Ramdev for his statements which smack of arrogance.”
Police officials, when asked, said no complaint has been received so far against Ramdev on the issue. SSP (Haridwar) Senthil Avoodai Krishna Raj S said, “If we get a complaint, we will investigate the matter and take action as per law.”
