New Delhi. A day before appearing in the Supreme Court in the misleading advertisement case given by Patanjali, Yogguru Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna have once again apologized unconditionally by filing an affidavit in the apex court. In the affidavit, it has been said on behalf of Ramdev and Balkrishna that we will follow the orders of the Supreme Court in letter and spirit. Even before this, on April 2, during their appearance in the Supreme Court, Ramdev and Balkrishna had apologized, which was rejected by the Supreme Court. Not only this, the court had reprimanded Ramdev and expressed displeasure for not obeying the earlier order of the court.

Justice Hima Kohli had said that what would you say about what happened earlier? The lawyer appearing on behalf of Baba Ramdev said that this will not happen in future. Apologize for the mistake that happened earlier. The Supreme Court said on this that not only the Supreme Court, but any order of any court in the country should not be violated. The court did not accept Patanjali’s apology. The court said that you have no idea what you have done. We will take contempt action. After this, the date of April 10 was fixed for the hearing of the case.
The court had also said that Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna will have to remain present in the court. The court had sought written affidavits from Ramdev and Balkrishna. Which he filed today, a day before the hearing. 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.
