New Delhi. Patanjali misleading advertisement case was heard again in the Supreme Court today. During this period, Yogaguru Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna remained present in the court, although they did not get relief even today. Ramdev said that we are ready to apologize publicly. The court has ordered to appear again on April 23. During the hearing, the bench of Justice Hima Kohli and Justice Amanullah told Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna that you have a lot of dignity, you have done a lot in the field of yoga. But should he forgive you for violating the court order? Why did you think you would hold a press conference and do an advertisement? The Ayurveda you are promoting is very old in our culture.

The court said that we know what you have started is a business but it is not right to reject allopathy to call your thing good. On this, Ramdev said that we have already apologized unconditionally twice and are ready to apologize publicly. I will be aware of this from now on. This happened in the excitement of work. On this the court said that you are not so innocent. After this, the court gave Ramdev a week’s time and asked him to appear again along with Balakrishna on 23 April. Let us tell you that in the last hearing on April 10, the apology letter of Ramdev and Balkrishna was severely reprimanded in the court and their apology was rejected.
The court had to say that how the affidavit got circulated in the media before being filed in the court. Was this prepared for apology or for publicity? The Supreme Court had also given notice to the Uttarakhand government for not taking action against Patanjali Ayurved for violation of the law. It is noteworthy that let us tell you that a petition was filed in the Supreme Court on 17 August 2022 on behalf of the Indian Medical Association. It said that Patanjali did negative publicity against Covid vaccination and allopathy. At the same time, he has falsely claimed to cure some diseases with his own Ayurvedic medicines. IMA has demanded action against Patanjali in this matter.
