The Indian Medical Association, (IMA) Uttarakhand has sent a defamation notice of Rs 1,000 crore to yoga guru Ramdev following his remarks against allopathy doctors.
In a strongly-worded letter, the IMA stated that if Ramdev doesn't post a video countering the statements given by him and tender a written apology within the next 15 days, then a sum of Rs 1,000 crores will be demanded from him.
On Monday, IMA state unit had sent a letter to the chief minister and chief secretary demanding a strict action against the yoga guru.
"In the letter, it is written that there is a lot of resentment among the IMA doctors against the statement of Baba Ramdev. The Union health minister has also sent a notice to Ramdev on the same stating that the statement is considered incorrect", IMA state unit president Dr Ajay Khanna had said.
He added that the state government should take strict action against Ramdev immediately.
Ramdev withdrew his statements on allopathic medicine after receiving a strong-worded letter from Union health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan who called his remarks "inappropriate".
