Mumbai: The Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Wednesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take "action under the sedition charges” against Ramdev over his statements questioning the efficacy of allopathy medicines and doctors and to stop the "misinformation campaign on vaccination” against the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) by the yoga guru. At this juncture, painfully we bring to your kind notice, the video claiming 10,000 doctors have died despite taking both the doses of the vaccine and lakhs of people have died due to allopathic medicine are circulating virally in the social media, as said by Mr. Ramdev, Owner of Patanjali products,” IMA said in its letter to PM Modi.
IMA was referring to a video of Ramdev in which he claimed that more than 10,000 doctors have died after getting two doses of the vaccine against the coronavirus disease. The country's medical association said that doctors follow the guidelines and protocols issued by the Union ministry of health and family welfare to treat millions of people. "If someone is claiming that the allopathic medicine has killed the people, it is an attempt to challenge the Ministry who has issued the protocol for treatment to us," it said.
